Haley's Progressive Shift on Foreign Aid

With this being said, Haley emphasized that when the US funds other countries, they don’t just “throw out money.” Haley continued by saying, “They (other countries) have to also earn it (aid)… that’s the key when you’re giving assistance. We don’t have a ton of money to give out. Whether it’s a dollar, whether it’s a hundred dollars, we deserve to know who we’re giving it to is a friend and a partner.”

Haley, who’s now running for president, seems to have become a bit more generous regarding humanitarian aid compared to just a few years back– especially with countries such as Ukraine and Israel. The presidential hopeful urges her supporters that Ukraine’s sovereignty and overall security are vital for U.S. national security. She consistently calls for more funding to Ukraine.

[I don’t see that as a ‘progressive shift,’ but YMMV. The US has a vital interest in keeping Russia from adopting wars of conquest to regain its previous empire at the expense of self-determination, and to set painful incentives against such attempts. That aid should come with robust oversight, which has been entirely lacking in the Biden administration but which Haley promises if elected to replace him. This is an issue that should transcend red-blue domestic politics. — Ed]
