The United States
officially opened its embassy in Jerusalem, Israel—a move
that fulfills one of President Donald J. Trump’s signature
campaign promises. The Administration has also formally
recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Watch
the President’s message.
A milestone
this morning in Jerusalem
Around 9 a.m.
ET, the U.S. opened its new embassy in Jerusalem, Israel.
“When I came into office, I promised to look at the world’s
challenges with open eyes and very fresh thinking,” President
Trump said when announcing the move in December. “We cannot
solve our problems by making the same failed assumptions.”
The move honors
a bipartisan wish dating more than two decades. Every
President since Bill Clinton has expressed support for the idea
of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Last year, the Senate
unanimously reaffirmed a 1995 law calling for the U.S. Embassy
in Tel Aviv to be relocated to the holy city.
The
Administration continues to work toward a lasting peace
agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians.
Recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is a necessary
condition for such a deal. The President also supports
preserving the status quo at Jerusalem’s holy sites.
President
Trump keeps his promise to open the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem,
Israel.

The game
plan to lower drug prices
Drug prices are
being driven up unfairly, taking a toll on the
American people. Foreign freeloading and a system rigged to
reward list price increases contribute to the United States
having the highest per-capital pharmaceutical spending in the
developed world. Other countries take advantage of socialized
healthcare to command unfairly low prices from U.S. drug makers
at a cost to Americans.
President
Trump’s blueprint aims to boost competition, address
free-riding by other countries, and reform Federal programs.
For example, under the President’s watch, the Department of
Health and Human Services will take steps to end the gaming of
regulatory and patent processes, as well as accelerate the
approval process for over-the-counter drugs.

freeloading.
