Nikki Haley, a Republican Presidential candidate from the United States has claimed that if voted to power she will ensure to bring down the foreign aid for countries which oppose America. The countries which are on the list are China and Pakistan among other countries, adding that the countries being adverse towards the States, “a strong America doesn’t pay off the bad guys”.
“I will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries that hate us. A strong America doesn’t pay off the bad guys. A proud America doesn’t waste our people’s hard-earned money. And the only leaders who deserve our trust are those who stand up to our enemies and stand beside our friends,” the former governor of South Carolina and former US ambassador to the UN wrote in an op-ed for New York Post.
“We’ve given Iraq more than $1 billion over the last few years, even though 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,” Haley wrote.
Haley commenced her 2024 campaign for the White House this month, therein she pitched the young voters and the “new generation” of Republican leaders who have the potential to win the ballot box. Haley has become the first Indian-American woman from the Republican Party to contest for the presidential bid.
“I am running for president to restore our nation’s strength, our national pride and our people’s trust. Backing American allies and friends like Israel and Ukraine is smart. Sending our tax dollars to enemies isn’t. That’s why I will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries that hate us. A strong America doesn’t pay off the bad guys…” she penned down in the op-ed.
