‘India thinks US is weak, so strategically remains aligned with Russia’: Nikki Haley
Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, claims that India lacks trust in American leadership and has strategically aligned with Russia
Washington: Nikki Haley, an aspiring Republican presidential candidate, stated that India wants to be a partner with the US but currently lacks trust in American leadership. She also mentioned that India has strategically stayed close with Russia in the global situation.
In an interview with Fox Business News, 51-year-old Nikki Haley stated that India doesn't trust American leadership, and as of now, India sees the United States as weak.
"I have dealt with India too. I have got to say, I have dealt with India too. I have talked with Modi. India wants to be a partner with us. They don't want to be a partner with Russia," she said.
"The problem is, India doesn't trust us to win. They don't trust us to lead. They see right now that we're weak. India has always played it smart. They have played it smart, and they have stayed close with Russia, because that's where they get a lot of their military equipment," she said in response to a question.
"When we start to lead again, when we start to get the weakness out and stop putting our head in the sand, that's when our friends, India, Australia, New Zealand, all of them will -- and Israel, Japan, South Korea -- all of them want to do that. Japan gave themselves a billion-dollar stimulus to become less dependent on China,” Haley said.
"India gave themselves a billion-dollar stimulus to become less dependent on China," she told Fox Business News adding that the US needs to start building up its alliances.
Haley said China is not doing well economically and is preparing for a war with the US. "Financially, they're not doing well. You see their government has become more controlling. They have been preparing for war with us for years. That's their mistake,” she said.
