Trump: Hindi na kailangan ang Israel ng tulong militar mula sa US kung hindi nito ipagpapatuloy ang kapayapaan Former US President Donald Trump said that Israel no longer needs military aid from the United States if it does not continue to pursue peace. “Israel used to have an incredible ally in the United States, led by me, and we gave them billions of dollars. Now, they have to fight for themselves,” Trump said in an interview with Breitbart News. He added that the United States should not give money to countries that do not respect its interests. “We are giving billions of dollars to countries that do not respect us. This is not good for America,” Trump said. He also said that the United States should focus on its own problems and not interfere in the affairs of other countries. “We have so many problems in our own country. We need to focus on them,” Trump said. The former president also said that he would not hesitate to cut off aid to countries that do not support the United States. “If a country does not support us, then we will not support them,” Trump said. Trump’s remarks come amid growing tensions between the United States and Israel over the latter’s settlement policy in the West Bank. The Obama administration has been critical of Israel’s settlement policy, and has called on Israel to halt all settlement activity. Trump, on the other hand, has been a strong supporter of Israel, and has said that he would not pressure Israel to change its settlement policy. The former president’s remarks are likely to be controversial, and could further strain relations between the United States and Israel.
