With his speech about moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, President Trump is following a familiar pattern. He has become the first president since Israel's founding in 1948 to recognize Jerusalem as the capital, although other presidential candidates have talked about doing so. At the same time, he is signing a waiver to keep the embassy in Tel Aviv for another six months, and officials say it could take years to build an embassy in Jerusalem. He could have ordered a sign placed on the existing U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, declaring it the new embassy. In October, the president disavowed the Iran nuclear deal, but stopped short of killing the Obama agreement.
