Nikki Haley: I’ll End US Aid To “Countries That Hate Us”

Nikki Haley writes for the New York Post:

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.

I am running for president to restore our nation’s strength, our national pride and our people’s trust. Backing American allies and friends like Israel and Ukraine is smart. Sending our tax dollars to enemies isn’t.

That’s why 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.

Read the full article. The US has long propped up countries that host antagonistic groups in order to stop someone even worse from seizing power.

It makes no sense to send American taxpayer dollars to countries that hate us, hurt us, or help our enemies.

A President @NikkiHaley will cut the billions in foreign aid we send to them. https://t.co/yM1aSbFAWh
