WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Donald Trump is still reviewing whether to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
“The president has not made a decision yet and is still reviewing that,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House spokeswoman, said Wednesday at the daily briefing for reporters.
There have been multiple reports in the Israeli media this week suggesting that Trump will announce a move timed around his May 22-23 visit to the country. Other reports have said he has decided against the move.
Trump campaigned on a promise to move the embassy, but since assuming office has retreated from the pledge.
