Sparking a wave of global controversy, President Trump is expected to announce on Wednesday his decision that the United States will recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The expected announcement has led multiple global leaders to comment on the potentially harmful policy move, with Jordan's King Abdullah saying it will "provoke Muslims and Christians alike."

The president's remarks are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. EST.
