The party’s internal US election campaign is picking up speed. Republican Nikki Haley also answers questions from the CNN audience. She has clear words about the Russian war of aggression – unlike Donald Trump.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley made a clear statement on the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine during a public question session on US broadcaster CNN. Supporting Ukraine is also about defending freedom and stopping tyranny around the world, she said last night at the performance in Des Moines, Iowa.
The 51-year-old Republican, who was US Ambassador to the United Nations from 2017 to 2018, clearly distinguishes herself from her strongest internal party competitor and former boss Donald Trump.
“Victory for Ukraine a victory for all of us”
“It’s about more than Ukraine, this war is about freedom,” she said. “What we need to understand is that a win for Ukraine is a win for all of us.” Tyrants around the world made no secret of what they were up to. If Ukraine wins, it will also send a message to China, Iran and North Korea. It’s not about giving Ukraine money or stationing troops there, it’s about working with allies and making sure Ukraine has enough equipment and ammunition to win.
Trump made evasive comments about Ukraine in the same format in mid-May. Asked if he would continue to provide money and arms supplies to Ukraine should he win the 2024 presidential election, he said: “I want Europe to provide more money because they laugh at us. They think we are one Bunch of idiots.” Trump claimed that the US government is giving away so much equipment that there is no ammunition left for its own troops.
At the time, Trump also insisted on his claim that he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine, which had been going on for more than 14 months, in 24 hours. Both parties to the conflict have strengths and weaknesses. When asked if Russia’s President Vladimir Putin was a war criminal, Trump said, “If you say he’s a war criminal, it’s going to be a lot harder to strike a deal.” Haley replied: “You can’t trust a regime that invades and tries to take away people’s freedoms.”
What does Mike Pence do?
The presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024. There is a broad field of candidates for Republicans. In addition to Trump, the governor of the state of Florida, Ron DeSantis, has also announced his candidacy. Former Vice President Mike Pence is also expected to throw his hat in the ring on Wednesday. The Republicans select their candidates in an internal party primary. This weekend, some of the applicants presented themselves at performances in Iowa.
The chances of success Haleys, former governor of South Carolina, are considered slim. During her CNN appearance, she spoke out on a variety of topics.
