US to end $4 billion military aid to Israel after 2026, Trump says 'they don't need it'
Trump also claimed that some Democrats and left-wing politicians were using US funding to Israel to criticise Republicans.
US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the United States will cease providing $4 billion in military aid to Israel by the end of 2026, according to a statement made to Fox News Fox and Friends. In the discussion, Trump stated that Israel no longer requires the financial assistance from the US. He also mentioned that some Democrats and left-wing politicians were leveraging US funding to Israel as a means to criticize Republicans.
The agreement between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reached months ago, with both parties agreeing to discontinue the annual $4 billion in support by the year's end. However, Trump emphasized that the United States would still be willing to provide assistance to Israel if the nation requires it in the future.
