Trump: US Ends $4B Israel Aid by Year-End

President Trump told Fox & Friends that the roughly $4 billion in annual U.S. aid to Israel will end at the close of the year, because, in his words, "They don't need it." He said Prime Minister Netanyahu raised the idea himself, that the two have discussed it for years, and that Israel can still buy whatever American weapons it wants. The NY Post has the quote.

Notice what just happened. A president proposed that a wealthy ally stand on its own feet, and the ally's own prime minister reportedly brought it up first. Our friends on the left spent decades demanding to know when the aid would end, and I expect them to be very quiet about the answer. The Beltway geniuses will now pore over the 2019-2028 agreement, which provides about $3.8 billion a year. The exact terms and timing weren't spelled out, so go read the Post for the details.

Write this down. You'll want to say you read it here first.
