Trump: ‘There’s certainly a chance of moving embassy’ but it ‘has 2 sides’

In an interview with the Evangelical Christian network CBN News, President Donald Trump appears to backtrack on a campaign promise to move the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, saying the issue has “two sides.”

“I’m looking at it, we’re studying it, as you know we’ve discussed this before. We’re studying it very long and hard,” Trump says. “You know it’s a very big decision because every president for the last number of presidents, large number, they’ve come in and they were going to do it and and then all of a sudden they decide they don’t want to get involved.”

Pushed on whether he thought it was likely he would decide to go ahead with the move, Trump says, “I’ve always liked the concept of doing it, I’ll tell you that. I’ll have a decision in the not too distant future. There’s certainly a chance of it, absolutely, but we’re doing very detailed studies on that and we’ll come out very soon.”
