Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is seeking to set herself apart from previous administrations, vowing to make a sharp break from President Joe Biden on how the country disburses foreign aid.
In an op-ed to the New York Post, Haley outlined the ways in which the U.S. has supported foreign countries over the last few decades, noting the country has spent $46 billion on foreign aid in just the last year. The Republican candidate and former United Nations ambassador decried that number, vowing to put an end “to this fiasco.”“A strong America doesn’t pay off the bad guys. A proud America doesn’t waste our people’s hard-earned money," Haley wrote."America can’t buy our friends.
Haley specifically pointed to U.S. aid going toward countries such as Iraq and Pakistan despite the two nations with dangerous terrorist groups that have harbored anti-U.S. motivations. She also pointed to money the U.S. gives to China for environmental programs “despite the obvious threat China poses to Americans."
However, the presidential candidate noted this spending extends far beyond Biden. Rather, it’s a result of “autopilot” spending by past presidents and administrations from both parties.“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,” she wrote. “They typically operate on autopilot, with no consideration for the conduct of the countries that receive our aid.
The op-ed comes nearly two weeks after Haley announced her White House run, making her the first challenger to former President Donald Trump, who is also seeking the GOP nomination. Those two, along with Vivek Ramaswamy, are the only ones to declare their presidential bids so far, but the Republican primary field is expected to grow increasingly crowded over the coming months.
