Trump expected to delay U.S. embassy move to Quds

US President Donald Trump is expected this week to delay relocating the U.S. Embassy in Israel to the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') from Tel Aviv, U.S. officials and a diplomatic source said on Wednesday, despite his campaign pledge to go ahead with the controversial move.

With a deadline for a decision looming, Trump is likely to continue his predecessors' policy of signing a six-month waiver overriding a 1995 law requiring that the embassy be transferred to Quds, Reuters quoted the sources as saying.

Trump has yet to make his decision official but is required by law to act by Friday, according to one U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Barring a last-minute surprise, Trump is expected to renew the waiver.
