AKIPRESS.COM - Jordan's foreign minister has warned the US of "dangerous consequences" if it recognises Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, BBC reported.

Ayman Safadi said he had told US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson such a declaration would trigger great anger in the Arab and Muslim world.

Speculation is mounting that President Donald Trump will announce the move soon, fulfilling an election pledge.

Jared Kushner, Mr Trump's son-in-law, said no decision had yet been made.

In a tweet, Mr Safadi said: "Spoke with #US Secretary of State Tillerson on dangerous consequences of recognising Jerusalem as capital of Israel. Such a decision would trigger anger across #Arab #Muslim worlds, fuel tension & jeopardise peace efforts."

There was no public response from the US State Department.
