Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley to Biden: Stop Funding the Taliban

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Presidential candidate Nikki Haley slammed the Biden administration for giving more than $2.35 billion in taxpayer dollars to Afghanistan since the Taliban retook control in 2021.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the United States is the country's top source of funding. With the Taliban controlling every aspect of daily life in Afghanistan, it is likely much of the money falls into the Taliban's hands.

"Nearly two years after Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, he continues to add insult to injury by throwing taxpayer dollars at the Taliban-controlled country," Nikki Haley said. "This is a terrorist regime that killed our troops and tortures its own people. When I'm president, we won't send one penny to terrorists and countries that hate America."

Haley has released a comprehensive plan to cut foreign aid to countries that hate America and routinely vote against our interests, including Iraq, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, China, Belarus, and Communist Cuba.
