Israel never had a better friend in White House: Trump

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said that Israel never had a better friend in the White House as he boasted of an “incredible” partnership between the two countries “essential for a safer and fairer world”.
Speaking during the Israeli-American Council National Summit held at the Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Florida, Trump on Saturday stressed that his government would confront the “poison” of anti-Semitism with all the means at its disposal, reports Efe news.
“The Jewish state has never had a better friend in the White House than your President, Donald J. Trump,” he told the crowd that cheered him with loud chants of “four more years” in support of his re-election in 2020.
The president reminded the audience how he had delivered on his promise and moved the American embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“You’ve got a beautiful embassy, it’s in Jerusalem and you have something you have always wanted,” he said.
He lashed out at former US presidents and, in particular, tore into Barack Obama, for not keeping their promises made to Israel.
