This is the story he told:They came to me with a proposal for a $1 billion embassy in Jerusalem. We have a building, we have the site, we already own the site, we own the building. Instead, the ambassador to Israel suggested using an existing site for which the cost would be only $150,000. A beautiful facility upholding Trump’s pledge to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem for 0.04 percent of the planned price. Either you’re going to spend millions or hundreds of millions of dollars on a new, ground-up facility, or you’re not.
