According to Ms Haley, America spent $46 billion on foreign aid last year. That’s more than any other country by far. Taxpayers deserve to know where that money is going and what it’s doing. They will be shocked to find that much of it goes to fund anti-American countries and causes.
Washington: Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has vowed that if voted to power, she will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries like China, Pakistan and Iraq which hate America, a PTI report in The Tribune, Chandigarh, says.
The 51-year-old two-term Governor of South Carolina and the former US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, formally launched her 2024 presidential bid on Feb 15 saying “a strong America doesn’t pay off the bad guys”,
“I will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries that hate us. America doesn’t pay off the bad guys. 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,” she wrote in an Op-ed in the New York Post.

Ms Haley is now the first Indian American woman from the Republican Party to run for the presidential bid. As the former governor of South Carolina and US ambassador to the United Nations, she introduced herself as the proud daughter of Indian immigrants pitching a new future for the Republican party.
Citing examples in the Op-ed she says the US has given Iran more than USD 2 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.
Ms Haley says she is running for the president’s post to restore US’s strength, national pride, people’s trust. Backing American allies and friends like Israel and Ukraine is smart. Sending our tax dollars to enemies isn’t.
“The Biden administration resumed military aid to Pakistan, though it’s home to at least a dozen terrorist organizations. 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.
“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. It will take a determined president to root out these taxpayer rip-offs.”
“I will be that president, just as I was that ambassador,” Nikki Haley wrote.

In her Op=ed she states “The US has given hundreds of millions of dollars to Zimbabwe, a country with one of the most anti-American voting records in the UN. American taxpayers still give money to Communist China for ridiculous environmental programs, we give money to Belarus, which is Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s closest ally. We even give money to Communist Cuba”.
