UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States was isolated at the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday over President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights as the other countries on the council opposed the move.
In a letter requesting Wednesday's meeting, Syria described the U.S. decision as a "flagrant violation" of council resolutions, while ally North Korea issued a statement backing "the struggle of the Syrian government and people for taking back the occupied Golan Heights."
