US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Washington would stop providing financial aid to Israel by the end of the year under an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Anadolu Agency reported.

“Netanyahu and I have made a deal that we give Israel $4 billion a year, and we made a deal months ago that we’re stopping, and they’re fine with it because, you know, they’ve become a very successful country that are not in need, and we won’t be paying any more to Israel,” Trump told “Fox News”.

Trump said the United States would still provide assistance if needed. He described Israel as a regional partner and said Washington and Tel Aviv had maintained “a tremendous relationship”, with Israel the smaller partner.
