Trump channeled his familiar inner creep (or Sting and the Police for that matter), telling countries \u201cwe\u2019ll be watching you.\u201d \u201cThey take hundreds of mn of USD and even bns of USD, and then they vote against us,\u201d he said at a White House cabinet. \u201cWell, we\u2019ll be watching those votes. Let them vote against us, we\u2019ll save a lot. We don\u2019t care,\u201d he added, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/national-security\/us-threatens-countries-with-loss-of-aid-over-un-jerusalem-vote\/2017\/12\/20\/3ddacadc-e5bc-11e7-833f-155031558ff4_story.html?utm_term=.c44870129971\">according to the Washington Post<\/a>. His UN hall monitor Nikki Haley warned on Twitter that \u201cthe US will be taking names\u201d of countries that support the resolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The threat puts Egypt in a bit of an awkward position, as it had been the one to introduce the resolution in the UN Security Council earlier in the week. <\/strong>The US had vetoed the resolution which garnered support from all the other 14 Security Council members, taking it to a non-binding General Assembly vote today. It could further complicate matters on the aid front. The US State Department had <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/08\/23\/us-withholds-usd-290-mn-in-military-aid-to-egypt\/\">frozen nearly USD 300 mn in military aid<\/a> to Egypt in August, citing human rights concerns. Jordan, the only other country besides Egypt and Israel to receive aid higher than USD 1 bn, also stands a lot to lose if the decision goes through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is our sincerest hope that Trump is distracted by more pressing matters, such as Disney\u2019s horrific robot statue of him<\/strong> in the Hall of Presidents, which is driving Twitter and <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Entertainment\/comedians-mock-haunted-trump-robot-disney-world\/story?id=51899594\">late night talk show hosts<\/a> wild. We see the statue and Saudi Arabia\u2019s Sofia striking up quite the pairing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump is likely flush from his first true legislative success in his entire year in office after the US House passed the Republican USD 1.5 tn tax reform plan<\/strong> on Wednesday.

EM debt accounted for 11.5% of the assets of the bond fund industry at the end of November, up from a low of 9.7% in February 2016, according to data collated by the Institute of International Finance.
