Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley on Fox News: "We don't need to run" from China

CHARLESTON, S.C. – This afternoon, presidential candidate Nikki Haley sat down with Fox News' Martha MacCallum to discuss China and Russia's naval patrol off of Alaska. Haley's message to the Biden administration was unequivocal: "We don't need to run. We need to continue to be strong."

On the China threat...

"China has been planning war with the United States for years. This is no surprise; this didn't just happen. This has been happening for years and presidents just haven't taken it seriously enough... We need to be showing strength. This is in response to the fact that we and our allies have been doing exercises in the Taiwan strait near the South China Sea. What they are trying to do is intimidate us. We don't need to fall for it, we don't need to run, we need to continue to be strong. Biden continues to show weakness. He did that by sending Blinken, China came out and said it was a 'great meeting.' They said they would have committee meetings based on fentanyl flow. No, you don't have committee meetings based on fentanyl flow, you say we will end normal trade relations with you, until you stop killing Americans."
