Pakistan Terrorists’ Home, Shouldn’t Get US Aid:  Indian-American Presidential Candidate Nikki Haley

Pakistan is home to at least a dozen terrorist organisations and it should not receive any aid from the US, said Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley.

“Pakistan is home to at least a dozen terrorist organisations. #CutEveryCent,” Haley tweeted Wednesday.

The 51-year-old two-term Governor of South Carolina and the former US Ambassador to the United Nations formally launched her 2024 presidential bid in February 2023.

On Sunday, Haley in an op-ed in the New York Post wrote that if voted to power, she will cut foreign aid to countries like China and Pakistan which hate America.

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

She was born as Nimrata Nikki Randhawa to immigrant Punjabi Sikh parents. She is the third Indian-American to run for the US presidency in three consecutive election cycles. Bobby Jindal ran in 2016 and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020.

Before entering the real presidential poll to be held on November 5, 2024, Haley has to win the Republican Party’s presidential primary which will start in January next year.
