Also on Twitter President Trump said he may withhold future aid payments to Palestinians. Trump accused Palestine of being -quote- "no longer willing to talk peace" with Israel. He said in the Twitter message that Washington gives Palestinians -quote- "hundreds of millions of dollars a year and gets no appreciation or respect." The President's tweets follow plans disclosed earlier in the day by his UN ambassador to stop funding a United Nations agency that provides humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees. Ambassador Nikki Haley says Trump aims to stop funding until the Palestinians agree to come back to the negotiation table.
