Pompeo said that the decision helps strengthen the U.S.'s position ahead of the expected release of its Mideast peace plan, authored by Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner. The secretary didn't give an update on any expected date for the reveal of the peace plan but that the U.S. will release the plan "when the conditions are right." | | Read the developing report here | | | |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Did a friend forward you this email? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
