Trump would boost US aid to Israel, adviser says

2 November 2016, 5:37 pm Edit

Donald Trump’s adviser on intelligence and national security says if elected president, the Republican would increase the amount of aid given to Israel by the US.

Former CIA chief James Woolsey tells Army Radio that the amount of aid needs to be increased, and says that a Trump administration would be far better for Israel.

Washington and Jerusalem in September signed the largest aid package to any country in history, which will see Israel receive $3.8 billion annually — up from $3 billion — from 2018-2028.
