US President Donald Trump announced that the United States will stop providing $4 billion in annual aid to Israel starting in 2027, opting instead to sell military hardware to its Mideast ally.
Burlington Plattsburgh, VT, November 3, 2026 — The United States plans to transition its financial assistance to Israel from annual aid to a model focused on the sale of military hardware. This shift is slated to begin in 2027.
According to an announcement by US President Donald Trump, the U.S. will cease providing $4 billion in annual aid to Israel. This change in policy is set to take effect in 2027.
