US President Donald Trump denounced Wednesday what he called "unfair and one sided" actions against Israel at the United Nations.

Trump's comments, at a news conference welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, was directed at a UN resolution last month condemning Israel's construction of settlement homes in the occupied territories.

"This is one more reason why we reject unfair and one sided actions against Israel at the United Nations, which has treated Israel, in my opinion, very, very unfairly," Trump said.
