Donald Trump Visiting The Western Wall

On May 22, 2017, President Donald Trump visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem, Israel, during his first foreign trip as president. He placed a written note into the cracks of the wall, following Jewish tradition. Photographs of the visit were widely circulated in the media.

The visit was part of Trump’s broader diplomatic engagements in Israel and the region, which included meetings with Israeli leadership and discussions on security and bilateral relations. Trump did not kiss the wall, and the visit was brief but publicly documented.
