Tunisian union may block US ships to protest embassy move

Tunisia's largest trade union is considering stopping American ships from unloading at the country's ports in response to the US decision to transfer its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, according to the London-based newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi.

Mohammed Abbas, assistant general secretary of the Tunisian General Labour Union, told Al-Quds: “The union is considering a proposal to prevent the unloading and shipping of American vessels coming to Tunisian ports, in condemnation of US President Donald Trump's decision to move his country's embassy to Jerusalem."
