Indian-American Nikki Haley, who is trying to get the nomination from the Republican Party for the post of President, said that if she comes to power, her administration will not only cooperate with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) but also with India, Australia will strengthen its relations with many other countries including Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. Haley said that if former US President Donald Trump is re-elected, there could be a threat to relations with NATO. Speaking to ABC News, he said, “If Trump is re-elected, I am concerned about many issues.” The threat to relations with NATO is one of them. NATO is a success story of 75 years.
Haley is the only candidate left against Trump from the Republican Party in the race to file nomination for the 2024 presidential election in America. NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance of 31 member states, including 29 in Europe and two in North America. Haley said that China has always been a vocal opponent of this alliance. In such a situation, it is necessary to strengthen NATO. About a week ago, Trump made comments in Carolina that he would encourage Russia to “do anything” with any NATO member state. Haley was reacting to the question asked in this regard. Haley said that it is necessary to add more friendly countries to this alliance.
It is time to stand together in alliance. This is neither the time to take sides with a thug nor the time to take sides with the friendly countries that stood with America after the September 11 attacks. Responding to a question, Haley said, “I promise that if I get a chance to serve as President, we will not only strengthen NATO, but also strengthen relations with India, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines.” Will also strengthen. We will add more countries to it. This is about increasing the number of America’s allies, not reducing them.
