Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley shared her thoughts on her relationship with President Trump in Israel on Monday (May 27th). She stated that for the United States, she would definitely support Trump and work together for the country.
Despite the intense criticism towards each other during the Republican primaries, Trump and Haley recently hinted at potential collaboration. Trump mentioned that Haley would “absolutely” join his team in some form. Haley, in return, pledged her support for Trump in the November election.
When asked how she plans to work with Trump in the future, Haley emphasized the importance of removing emotions and personal factors in politics. She highlighted that it is crucial to focus on the betterment of the United States and strong alliances like with Israel, setting aside personal sentiments.
Comparing the policies of Biden and Trump, Haley expressed that supporting Biden for reelection is evidently not feasible. She pointed out the stark differences between the two, emphasizing her clear support for one of them during the ongoing election debate.
Speaking at a press conference in the western Israeli city of Sderot, Haley mentioned her recent visits to communities attacked by Hamas, military bases near the Gaza border, and the destroyed police station in Sderot. Her visit aimed to understand the challenges faced by the Israeli people firsthand.
Having served as the United States Ambassador to the UN under the Trump administration, Haley praised her work experience in that role, emphasizing the autonomy she had in decision-making. She lauded Trump for not intervening in her work, which allowed her to fulfill her responsibilities effectively.
During a recent interview, Trump described Haley as a “very capable person” and expressed his belief that she would end up joining his team in some capacity, emphasizing shared values and perspectives between them.
Regarding the possibility of becoming Trump’s running mate, Haley clarified that Trump had made it clear she was not being considered for the position. She remained focused on her current commitments and dismissed speculation about hypothetical scenarios.
While in Israel, Haley refrained from delving deeply into U.S. presidential election discussions, preferring to concentrate on making sure the American people understand the issues concerning the region.
She criticized both the Republican and Democratic parties for their failure to adequately explain to the American people the importance of supporting Israel and Ukraine. According to her, when provided with informative reasoning, the American people are apt to understand and care about such issues.
In a previous statement, Haley declared her decision to vote for Trump based on his stance on national security and economic policies. She emphasized the importance of supporting allies and holding enemies accountable in ensuring border security and financial responsibility.
Haley acknowledged that Trump’s policies are not flawless, but she considered Biden’s potential presidency a disaster. Therefore, she affirmed her support for Trump, reiterating her rationale for choosing him over his opponent.
Despite her endorsement of Trump, Haley urged him to engage wisely with millions of voters who supported her, hoping he would continue advocating for them rather than assuming their automatic support. She emphasized the need for effective communication and engagement with all supporters.
