The only question is - why announce it now? It can only cause trouble. Previous Presidents have decided this and delayed. Trump adores publicity; he's hooked to cameras and mics like a moth to the flame. |

"Bears Ears will be slashed from nearly 1.5m acres to 228,784 acres, while Staircase will be halved from around 2m acres to 1,006,341 acres."
So much?! He seems hell bent on destroying things. He has also been doing environmental destruction in the UK.

Embassies can be moved around but Bears Ears and the Grand Staircase-Escalante are irreplacable.

Hated Israel when I went there recently (for Eurovision); Tel Aviv is horrid and Jerusalem is not much better with that Golden Tit of Greed being guarded by children with machine guns. But, much as though I can't stand Trump, I do hate this simplistic reaction to him. If he wants to move the US Embassy from one ghastly city to another, let him. He should, at the same time, open a US Embassy to Palestine in the Palestinian part of the city, illustrating balance. |
