Since President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel he had been criticized. Some leaders felt it was a bad decision on his part.
His announcement was met with threats which saw some of those threats carried out. American flags and photos of Trump were burned. This was in retaliation to what Trump had recently announced.
The area saw some unrest as protesters took to the streets, burning tires and hurling objects at others.
Despite all of the commotion, Trump had promised he won’t be backing down on the matter.
Bullying Claims
It was reported that anyone not in favor of Trump’s announcement could find themselves on the wrong side of favor.
“Before this meeting, a U.N. member state threatened all the other members,” Mevlut Cavusoglu said. “We were all asked to vote no or face the consequences,” including cuts in aid, he said. “Such an attitude is unacceptable. This is bullying.”
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke at the United Nations and was appalled at Trump’s behavior.
Trump had been seen by many leaders as a bully and this matter only makes it more apparent.
