president trump recommends jerusalem as israel s capital, and will move the embassy there. protests against the move continue today. trace gallagher with the details on the warning. what are you also hearing about this worldwide caution? they update these warnings every six months or so. with that sense, caution is not unusual, but it is highly unusual for a worldwide caution to be issued, because of a policy decision. in fact, it was a longtime diplomat a correspond a free associated press has already noted the last time a warning was issued based on u.s. policy was in march of 2003 at the start of the iraq war. this is clearly an indication that the government believes that because of the decision to recognize it jerusalem as the capital, americans around the world could be targeted. here is the department. watch. it is a worldwide caution. we know that american citizens can be targets. in many places around the world.
