American politician Nikki Haley, who has introduced her candidature for president in 2024, has promised to slash monetary assist to “countries that are anti-US,” together with Pakistan and China if she turns into the president. The former governor of South Carolina made the pledge in an op-ed in New York Post printed on 24 February.

“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. As president, I’ll put a stop to this fiasco,” she wrote.

She then gave a number of examples of monetary aides supplied to numerous international locations by the USA that she intends to cease, and singled out cash flowing to Pakistan and Iraq, whose governments are hostile to the US and the place terrorist teams are energetic.

Haley wrote, that regardless of Pakistan being the bottom for not less than a dozen terrorist organizations and its authorities being closely indebted to China, Biden had renewed navy help to the nation. “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,” she wrote. She added that as ambassador to the UN, she had “strongly supported President Donald Trump’s decision to cut nearly $2 billion of military aid to Pakistan because that country supports terrorists who kill American troops.”

She added, “It was a major victory for our troops, our taxpayers and our vital interests, but it didn’t go nearly far enough. We’ve still given them way too much in other aid. As president, I will block every penny.”

Nikki Haley wrote that the US gave greater than $1 billion to Iraq over the previous couple of years, “even though its government is getting closer to the murderous thugs in Iran who shout “Death to America!” and launch assaults on our troops.”

“We give hundreds of millions of dollars to Zimbabwe, a country with one of the most anti-American voting records in the UN,” she added.

Nikki Haley additionally criticised the Biden administration for restoring half a billion {dollars} to “a corrupt United Nations agency”, the UN Human Rights Council, saying that whereas it’s supposed to assist the Palestinian folks, it in reality helps deeply anti-Semitic propaganda towards US ally Israel.

Then she talked about US cash flowing into China, Belarus and Cuba, saying it’s nearly comical if it weren’t true. “American taxpayers still give money to Communist China for ridiculous environment 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,” she wrote within the op-ed in NY Post.

She added that this isn’t just below the Biden administration, it’s taking place for a very long time. “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.,” she mentioned,

Nikki Haley, born to Indian-origin mother and father and whose authentic identify was Nimarata Randhawa, vowed, “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.”

Haley asserted that she is vying for the presidency as a way to re-establish the power, delight and confidence of the American folks. It is smart to help American allies and pals like Israel and Ukraine. It is to not present their tax cash to enemies, she wrote.

She has vowed to cease funding international locations that don’t vote in favour of the USA on the UN. “We are giving huge amounts of cash to countries that vote against us most of the time. That doesn’t make sense. I’ll stop it. America can’t buy our friends. We’ll certainly never buy off our enemies.”

“No country has a right to the American taxpayer’s money. Our leaders have a responsibility to protect our people and promote our interests. Our politicians aren’t doing that, all the way up to President Joe Biden. It’s about time we had a president who did,” she added ultimately.

Nikki Haley formally launched her 2024 presidential bid on February 15, making historical past as the primary American lady to take action for the Republican Party.
