Trump aide: Moving embassy to Jerusalem ‘big priority’
Moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is a “big priority” for Trump, senior aide Kellyanne Conway tells conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday.
“He made it very clear during the campaign, Hugh, and as president-elect I’ve heard him repeat it several times privately, if not publicly.”
“It is something that our friend in Israel, a great friend in the Middle East, would appreciate and something that a lot of Jewish-Americans have expressed their preference for,” she says. “It is a great move. It is an easy move to do based on how much he talked about that in the debates and in the sound bites.”
