Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican presidential candidate whose popularity has recently been growing, said the United States should reduce military aid to Israel after securing expanded Abraham Accords agreements. Ramaswamy made this statement during an interview with podcaster Russell Brand on Rumble, a platform popular with more conservative and right-wing supporters. Ramaswamy recently pushed for the U.S. to reduce the amount of funding to allies for defense, requiring them to increase their own defense funding. He also advocated for a U.S. territorial priority in defense funding and strategic focus.
