Brian Kilmeade Demands U.S. Cancel Aid to Arab Nations After ‘Disrespect’ of Cancelling Biden Meeting

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade slammed Jordan and Egypt over the canceled leadership summit President Joe Biden was supposed to have during his trip to the Middle East.

Kilmeade’s comments came on Wednesday as Fox & Friends spoke with Morgan Ortagus about the Gaza hospital explosion, where Israel and Palestinian militant factions blamed each other for the hundreds of people killed.

After Ortagus demanded Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) apologize for “threatening” Biden with her “disinformation” about the explosion, Kilmeade turned the conversation to the scrapped meeting Biden was supposed to have with Jordan’s King Abdullah, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

How many billions do we give Jordan? How many billions do we give Egypt? You got to be kidding me! To break off a meeting with the president on things that was dicey to begin with and now proven that Israel has nothing to do with, and to disrespect the president like that? Are you kidding?

And to not get it back on track now that the transcripts are out. More evidence is there. Forget about the street. They could go see the video. It’s online. To disrespect the president is disrespecting this country. I mean, there has got to be something you can do to take a hard line behind the scenes to let them know ‘I’m in the air. You cannot cancel this meeting.’

Biden is currently in Israel, and he was supposed to meet these three Arab leaders in Jordan afterward in a show of support for Israel’s war against Hamas. Abbas pulled out of the meeting over the hospital explosion, and the summit was postponed shortly after.

As Ortagus shared Kilmeade’s shock about the cancelled meeting, she estimated that U.S. aid to Jordan and Egypt to be around $3 billion.

“They had no problem taking billions of dollars in military aid, economic aid, humanitarian aid from the United States,” the former State Department spokeswoman said. This drew Kilmeade’s interjection of “Take it back.”

“I think we should be considering that this morning,” Ortagus responded. “We also have to look, I think, and say to ourselves why too these leaders feel empowered to disrespect the president of the United States.”
