President Donald Trump has announced a significant shift in United States foreign aid policy concerning Israel. According to the announcement, the U.S. is set to halt approximately $4 billion in annual aid to Israel. This cessation of aid is scheduled to commence in 2027.
The announcement also specified that, despite the halt in direct financial aid, the United States will continue its practice of selling military hardware to Israel. Specific details regarding the types of military hardware to be sold or the value of these ongoing sales were not provided in the announcement.
