Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley on Face the Nation: "Deal with China as the threat that they are"

CHARLESTON, S.C. — This morning, presidential candidate Nikki Haley sat down with Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan to discuss the ongoing China threat and make the case for term limits and mental competency tests for politicians.

On the China threat...

"We need to deal with China as the threat that they are. The way I would deal with it is number one, we wouldn't allow them to buy U.S. soil, we would take the land that they bought back from them. We would go and say no more selling any sort of sensitive technologies that allow them to build up their military and threaten the U.S. We would stop that. We would tell our universities you either take Chinese money or American money, but the days of taking both are over and we get that Chinese infiltration out. And when it comes to fentanyl. The number one cause of death for adults 18 to 49, Margaret, is fentanyl. Don't think for a second China doesn't know what they're doing. So what I would do is say to China, we will end all normal trade relations with you until you stop killing Americans... We need to be strong with China. They're running all over us. We're waiting to deal with China tomorrow while they're dealing with America today."

On term limits...

"I do think we've got to stop electing people because they look good in the picture or they hold a baby well. We've got to stop electing people because we like them and they've been there a long time. That's actually the problem. You need to have term limits, because we need new ideas, new solutions. We've got to have a new generation... What I am saying about Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, all of them, 'Know when to walk away.' We have huge issues that need new solutions. We need new generational leaders. We appreciate your service. We appreciate what you've done. But this is why we will fight for term limits. We've got to get it done in America."
