According to The National, US President Donald Trump, reacting to the Democratic sweep of the House and Senate, declared he would become "Mr Veto" to block "insane" legislation sent by Democrats. Trump stated he did not consider the Republican losses a personal defeat, claiming he would have won in a landslide had he been on the ballot, and noted that the Iran war played a role in the results. Furthermore, Trump claimed he had reached a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the $4 billion in annual US funding to Israel by the end of the year—a claim that reportedly surprised Israeli media. Trump also jokingly suggested that if Americans grew tired of him, he might move to Israel to become its prime minister.
