Nikki Haley says if voted to power, she will cut foreign aid to countries which hate America

Indian-American Republican Presidential candidate Nikki Haley has vowed that if voted to power, she will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries which hate America.

She mentioned Pakistan, China, Iraq and other countries, saying "a strong America doesn't pay off the bad guys".

The 51-year-old two-term Governor of South Carolina and the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations formally launched her 2024 presidential bid earlier this month.

"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," she wrote in an op-ed in the New York Post.

She said that America has spent $46 billion on foreign aid last year, which is given to countries like China, Pakistan, and Iraq. American taxpayers deserve to know where that money is going and what it’s doing, she added.

"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 said.

According to Haley, the Biden administration resumed military aid to Pakistan, though it's home to at least a dozen terrorist organisations and its government is deeply in hock to China.
