Watch live: Trump announces US will recognize Jerusalem as Israeli capital

The announcement will be watched by other world leaders who fear the move will undermine peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians and spark protests across the Middle East.

Trump is expected to make the announcement at 1 p.m.
