Tehran, December 21 (RHC)-- Iran says that U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to cut aid to countries that vote against his move on Jerusalem at the UN General Assembly shows his "contempt for democracy."
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif made the remarks in a tweet late on Wednesday. "Trump regime exposes contempt for democracy through its threats against those who dare resist its thuggish demands at the UN," he said.
Earlier, Trump threatened to discontinue financial aid to countries that vote in favor of a draft UN resolution against his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
