“A strong America doesn’t pay off the bad guys”- Nikki Hayley
US Republican Party, Grand Old Party (GOP) Presidential candidate Nikki Haley has stated that if elected, she will cut all foreign aid to countries that oppose the US. As "a strong America doesn't pay off the bad guys," this includes China, Pakistan, and other adversaries.
"I will cut every penny of foreign aid to countries that despise us. A strong America does not pay off the bad guys. A proud America does not squander its people's hard-earned money. And the only leaders who deserve our trust are those who stand up to our adversaries while standing alongside our friends "Ms. Haley, former Governor of South Carolina and US Ambassador to the United Nations, wrote an op-ed for the New York Post.
Ms. Haley is now the Republican Party's first Indian American woman presidential candidate. As former South Carolina governor and US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley took the stage, she introduced herself as the proud daughter of Indian immigrants, pitching a new future for the Republican Party. She officially launched her presidential campaign for 2024 on February 15 (local time), pitching herself to voters as part of a "new generation" of Republican leaders capable of winning elections.
Last year, the United States spent $46 billion on foreign aid, according to Ms. Haley. That is far more than any other country. Taxpayers have a right to know where their money is going and what it is being used for. They will be surprised to learn that a large portion of it is used to fund anti-American countries and causes.
Ms Haley stated in the Op-ed that the US has given Iran more than USD 2 billion in recent years, despite the fact that its government is getting closer to the murderous thugs in Iran who shout "Death to America!" and launch attacks on our troops. "The Biden administration resumed military aid to Pakistan, though it's home to at least a dozen terrorist organizations and its government is deeply in hock to China. Team Biden restored half a billion dollars to a corrupt United Nations agency that's supposed to help the Palestinian people but in fact covers for deeply anti-Semitic propaganda against our ally Israel," she said.
Nikki also said that Americans are still giving money to China and Belarus who are communist party and ally of Russia respectively. She also said that this is not a fault of Biden administration, all the previous president from both the parties have been doing this for a long time.
Ms. Haley stated that she is running for president to restore the United States' strength, national pride, and people's trust. It is wise to support American allies and friends such as Israel and Ukraine. It is not acceptable to send our tax dollars to enemies.
"I will be that president, just as I was that ambassador," wrote Nikki Haley.
