White House hopeful Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said Monday she would not reverse President Trump's 2017 decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

"I think it would have been better if that was done as part of a negotiation for a two-state solution. I think it's unfortunate it was done the way it was done but I wouldn't reverse it," Klobuchar told Jewish Insider Monday.

The Klobuchar campaign did not immediately respond to a request for further comment from The Hill.

Klobuchar joins fellow presidential candidates South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) in saying they wouldn't move the embassy.

1. Well sorry to hear that.

2. Shows how bad Orange Hairball is at making deals

she's right, it was a bargaining chip he gave away. And once done, it would cause more problems to reverse it.

3. Shouldn't be a big deal with Dem voters. nt

4. Truly unfortunate that any of the candidates would not

reverse that decision. It was a poke-in-the-eye decision and should be rescinded. It's not like there's some huge facility there, just a couple rented offices and not much else. It's a disaster and that takes points away from all who won't reverse that ignorant move.

5. Good decision. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, whether or not some would prefer to pretend

otherwise.
