Nikki Haley Defends US Aid to Ukraine
Candidate Contrasts with Trump on Support for Allies
Haley Calls for Increased NATO Spending
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley defended United States support of Ukraine at an event, contrasting her position with that of former President Donald Trump. Haley, who served as former UN Ambassador under Trump, called for increased NATO spending.
During a CNN town hall, Haley criticized the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and the lack of support for Ukraine under Trump's administration. She emphasized the importance of standing with allies, saying, "We need to make sure that we are defending our allies, and we need to make sure that we are standing up to our enemies."
Haley's comments come as the US and its allies continue to provide military and economic aid to Ukraine in its defense against Russia. The US has committed billions of dollars in support, including training, equipment, and weapons. Haley's call for increased NATO spending is in line with the Biden administration's efforts to strengthen the alliance in the face of Russian aggression.
