Trump makes waves as he eyes Jerusalem as Israelâs capital
In a move that could undo decades of American diplomacy   President Trump  on Tuesday told Arab and Israeli leaders  he  will recognize Jerusalem as Israelâs capital â despite opposition from many sides.
A formal announcement is expected to come Wednesday  but  Trump  laid the groundwork on phone calls Tuesday to leaders of the Palestinian Authority and Jordan.
 Trump  told the president of the Palestinian Authority  Mahmoud Abbas  that the U.S. will move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Jordan said the president gave a similar message to King Abdullah II  according to The New York Times.

 Trump  is expected to sign a waiver allowing the embassy to stay in Tel Aviv for six months while logistics of the move are worked out.
U.S. officials familiar with  Trumpâs  thinking said on Wednesday  he  will declare Jerusalem as Israelâs capital  a symbolic move that could set off potentially violent protests.
 Trumpâs  decision â which analysts say has the potential to destabilize the region â comes as  his  son-in-law Jared Kushner has led an effort to revive Mideast peace talks.
The mere consideration of Trump changing the status quo sparked a renewed U.S. security warning on Tuesday.
On the campaign trail   Trump  had repeatedly promised to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
 Trump   who has spoken of  his  desire for a âdeal of the centuryâ that would end Israeli-Palestinian conflict  is expected on Wednesday to talk about Jerusalemâs status as the âcapital of Israel.â
