US embassy

France are threatening President-elect Donald Trump with “serious consequences” if he moves the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.  French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault warned Trump against the embassy move, saying that it would threaten peace in the region. Yahoo News reports: Speaking as 70 countries gather in Paris to try to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, Ayrault told French TV he believed Trump would find it “impossible” to fulfil the pledge he made during his campaign to transfer the embassy.

A fake US embassy successfully operating for 10 years has been discovered and shut down in Ghana, West Africa. For about a decade criminals have been operating a fake US embassy in Ghana’s capital Accra, flying the American flag and issuing visas. The fraud came to light during “Operation Spartan Vanguard” initiated by the real US embassy in Ghana.
