The US has suffered a humiliating defeat at the United Nations as its proposal to extend an arms embargo on Iran won support from only the Dominican Republic at the security council vote. The US resolution was never likely to be passed in the face of Russian and Chinese opposition. It was proposed as a ploy by the Trump administration to open the way to more drastic action against Iran.
US sees embarrassing UN defeat over Iran arms embargo proposal | World news | The Guardian
Considering how Donald Trump trashed the Iran nuclear deal which had the support of America's European allies as well as competing rivals in international diplomacy, is it any wonder, with all his badmouthing money-scrounging off NATO countries into the bargain, that when he wants support from traditional friends of the USA to double down on Iran to please the Israelis, there is no one to support him in Europe anymore. Then Pompeo puts himself into his boss' good books by berating the usual allies. Europeans have had their fill from this outfit running American foreign policy these days. Pompeo can do us all a favor by shutting up.
