Trump’s statement was an apparent break with a decades-old Washington policy to maintain a special security relationship with Israel, and came as Israel and the US are negotiating a new defense package said to be worth tens of billions of dollars over 10 years.
Israel currently receives $3.1 billion a year from Washington, most of which is required to be spent in the US.
Trump has said he is the most pro-Israel candidate on the campaign trail, but has also said he will be “neutral” in dealing with Israelis and Palestinians.
