U.S. will stop $4B in aid to Israel at the end of the year, Trump says

President Donald Trump said that he has made a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the United States to stop sending $4 billion in aid annually to Israel. NBC News' Gabe Gutierrez reports on what this means for the U.S. midterm elections.

What the coverage shows

All of the outlets lead on Trump’s claim that U.S. aid to Israel will end by year’s end, and several foreground the same figures, though Fox News and ABC News also emphasize his assertion that Israel can still buy weapons or that the U.S. will not be “paying” Israel. NBC News, The Hill, the New York Times, and France 24 highlight his claim of a deal with Netanyahu, while The Guardian US and the New York Times frame the announcement in election-day or political terms. South China Morning Post is the only outlet here to stress the aid as part of a 10-year security deal and to cite $3.8 billion rather than $4 billion.
