Republican Party candidate and former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, was interviewed by the ABC network yesterday (Sunday) and provided an interesting statement regarding her primaries contest against former President Donald Trump.

In a conversation with Jonathan Karl on the "This Week" show, Haley was asked if she would support Trump if she lost the bid and said: "I'm running against him because I don't think he should be president." According to her, "The last thing I'm thinking about is who I'm going to support, I'm only focused on how I'm going to win this race."

The interviewer tried to pressure Haley but she insisted: "I'm going to win, you can ask him (Trump) if he'll support me when I'm the candidate."

During the Republican Party's first debate last August, Haley actually said that she would support Trump even if she lost. "I'm going to support him, because I don't want Kamala Harris to be president. We can't afford it," she said at the time.

During the interview, Haley also addressed other issues on the agenda, including the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny last week. "We need to remind the American people that Vladimir Putin is not our friend, he's not cool and we can't trust him," Haley said, taking the opportunity to criticize her rival. "When you hear Donald Trump say in South Carolina a week ago that he would encourage Putin to invade our allies if they weren’t pulling their weight, that’s bone-chilling because all he did in that one moment was empower Putin," she told Karl.

In a speech on February 10, Trump said he would encourage Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” to any NATO country that falls short of fulfilling its share of the spending guidelines.

“NATO was busted until I came along,” he recounted. “I said, ‘Everybody’s gonna pay.’ They said, ‘Well, if we don’t pay, are you still going to protect us?’ I said, ‘Absolutely not.’ They couldn’t believe the answer.”
