Trump: ‘I Recognized Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel’ and Am Directing Aid to Allies

‘I am asking Congress to pass legislation to help ensure American foreign assistance dollars always served American interests’

TRUMP: "Last month, I also took an action endorsed unanimously by the U.S. Senate just months before: I recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. 
(Applause)
Shortly afterwards, dozens of countries voted in the United Nations General Assembly against America's sovereign right to make this decision. In 2016, American taxpayers generously sent those same countries more than $20 billion in aid. That is why, tonight, I am asking the Congress to pass legislation to help ensure American foreign-assistance dollars always serve American interests, and only go to friends of America, not enemies of America."
(Applause)
