WATCH: Trump Gives Statement On Jerusalem
President Donald Trump greets supporters before his speech on taxes on November 29, 2017, in St. Charles, Mo.
President Donald Trump previewes his announcement on Israel — saying at the White House that “it’s long overdue.”
The president isn’t offering details of the decision during a Cabinet meeting. But he’s expected to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and instruct the State Department to begin the long process of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Trump says “many presidents have said they want to do something and they didn’t do it.” He says he’ll be making the announcement later in the day.
Mideast leaders say Trump’s expected decision could lead to violent protests and complicate Mideast peace efforts.
