A stinging rebuke at the UN General Assembly may herald deeper problems for US foreign policy.
A resounding majority of United Nations member states defied unprecedented threats by the US to declare President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital "null and void".
Trump and Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, both made threats before the Security Council vote - warning nations of the consequences they faced if they didn't support the US move.
The non-binding resolution was approved at a UN General Assembly emergency meeting on Thursday with 128 votes in favour and nine against, while 35 countries abstained.
