(Washington, DC) -- South Carolina lawmakers are praising President Trump for opening a new embassy in Jerusalem.
The embassy opened yesterday after years in Tel Aviv, and Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott both say it was a long time coming.
Graham was in Jerusalem for the ceremony, and he says the embassy sends a clear message that the US has Israel's back without question.
Senator Tim Scott says it only makes sense to open the embassy in Israel's capital city near the country's leaders.
