Saudi king, Turkish president discuss U.S. embassy move decision

CAIRO – 6 December 2017: Saudi Arabia's King Salman discussed the "most prominent developments" in the region in a telephone call from the Turkish president, the Saudi state news agency reported, after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. Embassy in Israel would be moved to Jerusalem.
