Trump: Will Not Move US Embassy to Jerusalem for Now
US President Donald Trump  said Saturday  he  will not go ahead with  his  controversial pledge to move the American embassy to Jerusalem until after pushing for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
"I wanna give that a shot before I even think about moving the embassy to Jerusalem "  Trump  said on former governor Mike Huckabee's TV show  referring to efforts to forge a peace between the two sides that has eluded career diplomats for decades.
"We're gonna make a decision in the not too distant future "  Trump  said  but for now  the peace push comes first.
That push is one of the various portfolios  Trump  gave  his  son-in-law Jared Kushner  a 36-year-old with no prior government experience who became one of the most powerful men in Washington by virtue of his family connection to the president.
