US arms sales to occupying forces increased under Trump
Trump administration reports to Congress reveal a series of arms deals and military sales directed toward Israeli occupation since his return to the White House in January 2025, totaling over $20 billion so far. These deals include the delivery of bombs, missiles, Apache helicopters, military vehicles, and missile systems, along with the announcement of a new deal worth $2.8 billion involving 40,000 bombs weighing two thousand pounds each. The Trump administration utilized emergency powers to expedite sales processes and bypass congressional review—particularly after U.S. military support for Israel increased during Biden's era, with military aid reaching approximately $17.9 billion since October 2023. These deals coincide with opposition within the United States, as some lawmakers voiced concerns about certain transactions, fearing the use of these weapons to escalate the situation. In the past, President Trump halted some shipments due to fears they might be used in Gaza.
