Jordan Says Moving US Embassy to Jerusalem Is 'Red Line'

AMMAN, JORDAN —

Such a move could affect relations between the U.S. and regional allies, including Jordan, Information Minister Mohammed Momani told The Associated Press, addressing the issue publicly for the first time.

This will likely stir up things, as much as I hate that happening.
