Trump says UN just a club for people to 'have a good time'

  • 7 years ago
Days after the United Nations voted to condemn Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, President-elect Donald Trump questioned its effectiveness Monday, saying it's just a club for people to "have a good time." The decision by the Obama administration to abstain from Friday's UN vote brushed aside Mr Trump's demands that the US exercise its veto, and provided a climax to years of icy relations with Israel's leadership. The president-elect has taken a more pro-Israel stance since telling the Associated Press in an interview last December that he wanted to be “very neutral” on Israel-Palestinian issues.
