Donald Trump announces agreement to end $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel

US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday, November 3, that the United States will terminate $3.8 billion in military assistance to Israel. The cessation of security funding, which will take effect at the end of this year, is the result of an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Addressing the planned reduction in funding, Trump stated that the two leaders had already secured the arrangement prior to the announcement. He noted that they had finalized the terms of the deal "months ago," allowing Washington to halt the multibillion-dollar financial support once the current year concludes.

The impending cut will eliminate a substantial block of security assistance directed from Washington to Israel. All scheduled provisions tied to this specific $3.8 billion military aid package will be completely halted following the close of the year.
