US President Donald Trump has jokingly suggested that he could relocate to Israel and become the country’s prime minister if Americans ever grow tired of him.
Trump made the remark during an Election Day appearance on Fox News on Tuesday, where he discussed his popularity in Israel and the relationship between the United States and its Middle Eastern ally.
“In fact, if people ever got tired of me in the U.S., I’ll move to Israel, become prime minister,” he said.
The president also claimed that he enjoys a 99 per cent approval rating in Israel, describing it as the highest approval rating ever recorded for anyone in history.
However, Trump did not provide any polling evidence to support the figure.
His claim comes amid reports that his approval rating in the United States stands at 32 per cent, considerably below the figure he attributed to himself in Israel.
During the interview, Trump praised Israel as a great ally and highlighted his administration’s actions against Iran.
He also announced that the United States would end its annual $4 billion aid to Israel in 2027.
Trump has previously made similar comments about potentially seeking political office in Israel. In May, he joked about becoming the country’s prime minister and again claimed to enjoy 99 per cent support among Israelis.
