Trump says US will stop giving Israel aid after year-end

The US president said he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed months ago to end the payments, which he put at about $4 billion a year. It was not clear what form of aid he meant.

Annual US security aid to Israel

3.8 US$ billion

The security aid, signed under Barack Obama, ran until 2028 at about US$3.8 billion a year for buying weapons.

Why it matters

Trump said Israel does not need the money but that the US will help if it does. Netanyahu said in May he wanted to bring US support down to zero.
