Washington: Indian-origin Republican leader Nikki Haley, who recently announced her 2024 Presidential bid, vowed to cut billions in foreign aid sent to China and other US adversaries.
The GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said, “I will cut every cent in foreign aid sent to our enemies. Biden administration resumed military aid to Pakistan and American taxpayers still give money to Communist China for ridiculous environment programs.”
The 51-year-old Nikki Haley slammed Biden administration for restoring military aid to Pakistan and called out both Democratic and Republican presidential administrations for funding “anti-American countries,” reported Fox News.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley promised to stop sending billions of taxpayer dollars to “anti-American countries and causes.”
In an op-ed for the New York Post published Friday, Haley criticized both parties for how they’ve handled foreign aid and noted that the US spent $46 billion last year aiding countries like Iraq, Pakistan, and even China.
“This is not just Joe Biden. It’s been happening for decades under presidents of both parties. Our foreign-aid policies are stuck in the past. They typically operate on autopilot, with no consideration for the conduct of the countries that receive our aid,” Haley wrote.
She specifically called out foreign aid to Iraq and Pakistan and countries where terrorist organizations operate and the governments are not pro-America.
“American taxpayers still give money to Communist China for ridiculous environmental programs, despite the obvious threat China poses to Americans. We give money to Belarus, which is Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s closest ally. We even give money to Communist Cuba — a country our own government has designated as a state sponsor of terrorism,” Haley wrote op-ed for the New York Post.
If elected president, Haley said she would “cut every cent in foreign aid to countries that hate us.”
Nikki Haley, on February 14, announced that she would seek the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Indian-origin Republican leader Nikki Haley is the two-term Governor of South Carolina and the former US Ambassador to the United Nations.
