11_MohanReddy Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 When the Yemeni Ambassador to the United Nations in 1990, Abdullah Saleh al-Ashtal, voted against a resolution for a U.S.-led coalition to use force against Iraq, U.S. ambassador to the UN Thomas Pickering walked to the seat of the Yemeni Ambassador and retorted: "That was the most expensive No vote you ever cast". Immediately, USAID ceased operations and funding in Yemen.[115][116] Quote
