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…
Speaking of which— has anyone ever received any of the money that dumbfuck promised people?
The stimulus checks proscribed by congress during covid, so kinda, yeah. More importantly, he held those hostage until they agreed to drop their demands for oversight on PPP loans, which resulted in massive corruption and inflation. PPP was something like 3 times the size of the stimulus check program. Layoffs continued anyway. Turns out him keeping (using that term pretty loosely here) promises can be worse than his norm of breaking them.
They did that already, didn’t they?
Twice?
/s
I believe it will never happen
“Couple of years”?! What in the actual fuck?
I don’t believe genocide Trump but that still smarter statement than anything genocide Kamala did during the presidential campaign
Is it embarrassing being that stupid or are you just not smart enough to know how dumb you are?
In case you’re no trolling: do you believe Kamala would have mobilized ICE or started a war with Iran?
If you are trolling, carry on.
I will not waste my time with your bad faith comment. You are shifting the goal post
By “shifting the gold posts“ do you mean only you are allowed to make a bad faith comment? Or is it that just any criticism is “bad faith”?
Once your cult leader is mentioned in a negative way , magically you ignore anything bad I say about Trump.
So, that’s a “yes”
Ah, so trolling or simply stupid. Carry on.
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.
And that’s horseshoe theory.
