Nikki Haley has a special view of Afghanistan’s new ruling Taliban government. And it’s not a good one.
Built on her years as former President Donald Trump’s U.N. ambassador and influenced by her husband’s and brother’s military service, she believes that the terrorist group cannot be trusted, and she’s worried that President Joe Biden will recognize the Taliban to move past the 20-year war.
To help make her case, Haley and her Stand for America advocacy group have created a petition that urges Biden to hold firm against the regime. The petition already has 65,000 signatures, including people from every state, and the group plans to deliver it to the White House soon.
It is part of her effort to make sure that the nation doesn’t forget the debacle in Kabul that left 13 service members dead in a terror attack as Biden’s team moved with unneeded speed to leave the country, leaving hundreds of Americans and Afghan allies behind.
Haley said she’s concerned the administration will embrace the Taliban to pave the way to deliver do-gooder aid to Afghans. However, she said that any U.S. aid will be gobbled up by the Taliban.
“Sadly, we can’t change the chaotic and dangerous way Joe Biden left Afghanistan,” she told Secrets.
“But, as Americans, we can demand strength moving forward which starts by refusing to recognize the Taliban as a legitimate government and ensuring they never see U.S. aid dollars. The Biden administration needs to step up to deny these terrorists any credibility while rallying other countries to do the same,” she added.
