Nikki Haley, the Indian-American Republican presidential candidate, has made it clear that if elected to power, the US will not pay the “bad guys” like Pakistan hundreds of millions of dollars. In a tweet, she said that a strong America won’t be the world’s ATM. In an op-ed in the New York Post, Haley wrote that America spent USD 46 billion on foreign aid last year, which is given to countries like China, Pakistan, and Iraq. She believes that American taxpayers deserve to know where that money is going and what it’s doing.
Haley strongly supported then president Donald Trump’s decision to cut nearly USD 2 billion of military aid to Pakistan because that country supported terrorists who kill American troops. She said that as president, she will block every penny of foreign aid for countries that hate the US.
A recent opinion poll showed that Haley is leading against President Joe Biden in a hypothetical match. However, she trails badly against leading GOP candidate former president Trump. Before entering the presidential ballot, Haley has to win the Republican Party’s presidential primary which will start in January next year.
Born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa to immigrant Punjabi Sikh parents, Haley is the third Indian-American to run for the US presidency in three consecutive election cycles. Bobby Jindal ran in 2016 and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020. Days after Haley announced her White House bid, Indian-American tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy also launched his 2024 presidential bid. The next US presidential election is scheduled to be held on November 5, 2024.

She has promised to make sure to shake up the foreign policy establishment and cut every cent in foreign aid for countries that hate the US if elected as president. She believes that a strong America doesn’t pay off the bad guys and a proud America doesn’t waste its people’s hard-earned money. The only leaders who deserve our trust are those who stand up to our enemies and stand beside our friends, she said.
