Michigan Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat, said on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday that he supports President Trump’s recent plan to stop aid to Israel. “I agree with him on that,” he said, arguing the United States should not keep subsidizing a foreign military that has done the worst things with our money. He also said he would like to work with Trump on ending the aid and that the U.S. should stop selling weapons to Israel. The Hill, Just the News and NPR all report his remarks. Just the News says Israel receives roughly $4 billion in U.S. aid each year. NPR describes El-Sayed as Michigan’s first Muslim senator-elect and his stance as an unlikely agreement with Trump.
