"I can come. It (the embassy) will be open soon," Trump said at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
He recalled that many previous US presidents made promises to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but they never fulfilled them.
On Tuesday, Israeli Minister for Jerusalem and Cultural Heritage Zeev Elkin told Sputnik that US presidential adviser and son-in-law Jared Kouchner, along with Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin, will arrive in Jerusalem on May 14 to take part in the opening ceremony of the US embassy in the city.
