Jim Sciutto: Hard to See How U.S. Will Follow Through on Threat to Cut Aid to Countries Who Did Not Oppose U.N. Jerusalem Resolution

‘Set aside our close NATO allies who voted for this resolution, Germany, France, the UK; look at Jordan, Jordan is a close — an enormous amount of U.S. financial and military aid’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SCIUTTO: "Listen, it’s hard to impossible to see how the Trump Administration follows through on this to cut aid to these countries. Set aside our close NATO allies who voted for this resolution, Germany, France, the UK. Look at Jordan, Jordan is a close — an enormous amount of U.S. financial and military aid. Jordan right next to Syria. It’s got a significant jihadi threat. It’s a close partner in all — in the coalition, et cetera. Egypt as well. The uss not going to withdraw financial aid from those countries or military aid from those countries. Are they crying they’re not invited to this reception? I think it’s something they’ll survive."
