WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — President Donald Trump admitted the Middle East peace process was stalled Tuesday and suggested he may cut US aid to Palestinians, currently worth more than $300 million a year.
“We pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect,” Trump tweeted.
“With the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?”
