Haley continues attacks on Ramaswamy in South Carolina

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley slammed rival presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy’s foreign policy positions on Monday, reupping criticisms made at last week’s Republican primary debate.

At a town hall in Indian Land, S.C., Haley, who also served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the Trump administration, blasted the biotech entrepreneur for not valuing the United States’ relationships with key allies and not taking security threats from Russia and China seriously.

“When you have somebody on stage say, ‘I’m going to let Russia have this part of Ukraine, and I’m gonna tell them you can’t do anything with China going forward,’ it’s completely naive,” Haley said to applause from the audience. “And the other thing that bothers me — it is completely narcissistic to think that America doesn’t need friends.”
