Trump to Keep U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv - For Now
(CNN) Elise Labott and Dan Merica - President Donald Trump is expected to renew the waiver that keeps the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv instead of moving it to Jerusalem, several senior administration and diplomatic sources told CNN. A senior administration official said Wednesday that Trump still supports the move but believes now may not be the best time to anger the Palestinians by moving the embassy. Every U.S. president has signed a waiver twice a year after a law was passed in 1995 mandating the relocation of the embassy to Jerusalem.
