WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States will stop providing $4 billion in aid each year to Israel in 2027 but will sell arms to its closest ally in the Middle East, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.
The Republican president told Fox News Channel during a phone call on Election Day for the midterms that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had approached him about the idea and that they have been talking about it for a couple of years.
Trump said Israel doesn’t need the aid and it’s a lot of money for the U.S. to spend. But Trump also said that U.S. aid to Israel has become a Democratic talking point for candidates such as Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
“You can consider it barter. You can consider military aid or cash,” Trump said. “Look, we give them $4 billion of things and money, and they don’t need it. And I was approached by Bibi Netanyahu, and we’ve been talking about it for a couple of years because it’s a lot of money.”
Isn’t it funny how there’s never enough money for the US to give its citizenry health insurance, but the US has always been able to give Isreal a blank check?
Will this be before or after he makes peace with/crushes the military of Iran?
It’s all totally happening on day 1 after the election results. Also, everyone’s getting $5,000 and a pony and $3 gas and a robot butler and…
I believe it will never happen
I don’t believe genocide Trump but that still smarter statement than anything genocide Kamala did during the presidential campaign
So Kamala should have lied better, and that would have appeased you? Is that what you’re saying? Because that’s what it sounds like you’re saying.
She should have seriously think of cutting all aid to israel
Okay, but you said in the post I replied to that you don’t believe Trump will actually do it. So you’re criticizing Kamala for not lying about something that Trump is lying about.
