Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement after the United States officially opened its embassy in Jerusalem today:

"I join millions of Americans celebrating the official opening of the United States' embassy in Jerusalem. Moving our embassy is a long overdue recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of the Jewish State of Israel and reaffirms the strong alliance between our two nations. I congratulate President Trump on fulfilling yet another one of the promises he made to the American people."

Cramer signed a letter in January urging President Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocate the embassy.
