Schumer applauds Trump on moving US Embassy to Jerusalem
 [The Hill] In a rare moment of agreement with President Trump, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday praised the president for moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem."In a long overdue move, we have moved our embassy to Jerusalem. Every nation should have the right to choose its capital," Schumer said in a statement. "I sponsored legislation to do this two decades ago, and I applaud President Trump for doing it." The statement echoed a sentiment Trump expressed in a video message presented at the embassy opening, in which the president said the move had "been a long time coming." But the embassy’s official opening Monday was also marked by a bloody day on Israel’s border with the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-05-15 |
