Trump on Golan Heights: This Is About ‘Sovereignty’ and ‘Regional Security’

‘I have been thinking about doing it a long time’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "I've been thinking about doing it a long time. It's been a very hard decision for every president, no president has done it. They -- this is very much like Jerusalem, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, I did that, and I fully understand why every -- why Clinton, and Bush, and Obama, everybody campaigned on Jerusalem, and the embassy going to Jerusalem. I even got the embassy built, by the way, very inexpensively. But they all campaigned on it and they never did it. And I understand why. Because when I got elected -- I also campaigned on it -- when I got elected I was inundated with calls from all over the world, the leaders mostly the leaders saying, please don’t do it, don’t do it. I did it. And it's been done, and it's fine. Golan Heights is the same thing. For years other presidents have campaigned, they said they'd do it. This is sovereignty, this is security, this is about regional security."
