The State Department issued a “Worldwide Caution” as President Trumpannounced the U.S. would begin recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The update did not specially mention Jerusalem or the president’s announcement.
The message on Wednesday, which replaces a similar warning from Sept. 14, urges U.S. citizens around the world “to maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness when traveling.”
“In addition to concerns stemming from terrorism, travelers should be alert to the possibility of political unrest, violence, demonstrations, and criminal activities when traveling,” it said, adding that U.S. government facilities are on a heightened state of alert.
