President Trump said Thursday he does not believe the Israeli government is spying on the United States. His remarks came after a news report said U.S. officials thought Israel had placed surveillance devices around Washington.
I dont think the Israelis are spying on us, Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House. I really would find that hard to believe.
Trump said he has a strong relationship with Israel, pointing to his administrations policies on Iran, of which the Israeli government has been supportive. Trump later added that "anything is possible" but repeated that he doesn't believe it.
Politico reported earlier Thursday, citing anonymous former U.S. officials, that the government concluded in the last two years that Israel was likely responsible for the placement of cellphone spying devices commonly known as Stingrays around Washington. The report said that the Trump administration did not impose consequences on Israel over the revelations.
