The Mayor of Ma'ale Adumim, Guy Yifrach, announced that with the start of construction in the Mevaseret Adumim area (E1), the area will be renamed T-1 (Trump 1), in honor of US President Donald Trump, and in the expectation that, a residential neighborhood will be built there, during his presidency.
The Mevaseret Adumim area (E1) covers about 12,000 dunams on the western border of Ma'ale Adumim. Construction there is intended to connect Ma'ale Adumim to Jerusalem, strengthen national security, and provide a solution to the housing shortage in the Greater Jerusalem area.
