Trump Says US Will End Israel Military Aid by Year's End
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that US aid to Israel will end at the close of 2026. He made the remarks on Fox News on Election Day.
- $4 billion a year is the aid figure Trump cited.
- $3.8 billion annually flows under the current agreement, which runs through 2028.
- Trump said he and Netanyahu reached the deal months ago.
- Trump said Israel can still buy weapons from the US.
Why it matters: The change would end US aid two years before the current agreement expires. Trump said Israel no longer needs the money.
- Netanyahu has previously said he wants to phase out reliance on US military aid.
- Trump said some Democrats use Israel funding to criticize Republicans.
