Trump Announces End of $4 Billion in Aid to Israel on Midterm Election Day The United States will stop providing $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel starting next year, President Donald Trump said. The country doesn't need the money and the issue is being used by the left to generate bad publicity for the US government at home, he told Fox & Friends on Tuesday as Americans headed to the polls for the midterm elections. Trump said he reached an agreement on the issue with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to the president, the prime minister raised the issue himself. Yes, except they don't need to anymore, as the two armies are joint operations now. The Pentagon budget can be called an Israeli military budget and it would not be so exaggerated.
