Trump Scrambles to Halt Military Aid to Israel to Deprive El-Sayed of a Talking Point
In a Fox News interview, Trump said the U.S. will stop giving Israel weapons for free because Abdul El-Sayed keeps talking about it. The post Trump Scrambles to Halt Military Aid to Israel to Deprive El-Sayed of a Talking Point appeared first on The Intercept .
President Donald Trump announced he would halt $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel starting in 2027, according to an interview on Election Day. While the U.S. will continue selling arms to Israel, Trump's move could significantly alter American foreign policy. However, experts remain skeptical about the claim, as it is politically motivated to deprive Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed of a talking point.
The move comes amid a midterm vote where Trump's party is expected to lose its lock on Congress. Experts suggest that Trump's statement may be a "bait and switch" to conceal support for Israel by integrating Israeli technology within the Pentagon's programs and supply chain.
