President Donald Trump has suggested ending military aid to Israel. A staunch critic of Israel won a key Senate race. The vice president has partly blamed U.S.-Israel relations for his own party's sweeping losses. The election showed U.S. bipartisan support for Israel is in free fall in the wake of its devastating campaign in Gaza and the war with Iran. A cutoff in military aid would mark a major change after the U.S. has given Israel tens of billions of dollars across decades. Israel is likely to face similar pressure even if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's domestic opponents manage to replace him.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has unveiled a budget aimed at making Canada less dependent on the United States as President Donald Trump’s trade war reshapes the allies’ economic relationship. The $101.6 billion in new spending and tax breaks includes billions for energy and infrastructure and new support for Canadian culture. The unveiling Thursday comes after Democrats gained control of the U.S. Congress in midterm elections, weakening Trump’s political position as the countries pursue a trade agreement. The government expects Trump’s trade war to slow Canada's economic growth. Carney aims to double exports outside the U.S. by 2035. The budget advances plans for a sovereign wealth fund and outlines spending to strengthen Canada’s defense industry.
