Haley Campaign Press Release - Haley on Fox News: Biden Puts a Bounty on Every American's Head

September 13, 2023

CHARLESTON, S.C. – This afternoon, presidential candidate Nikki Haley joined Martha MacCallum and slammed Joe Biden's dangerous $6 billion ransom payment to Iran. She argued the swap makes Americans less safe and encourages our enemies to continue taking U.S. citizens.

On Biden's Iran ransom deal...

"This is incredibly reckless, irresponsible, and just made America less safe. You look at the fact that Joe Biden just put a bounty on every American's head by giving this deal to Iran. Think of all of our, my husband included, military men and women who are overseas. Think of our foreign service officers that are in every embassy around the world. Every enemy we have is now going to be realizing that if they take Americans, they can get $6 billion too.

"And you gave it to a regime that says 'death to America' every day. You can't buy friends. You can't pay off enemies. The idea that they did this, they just allowed this $6 billion to spread more terrorism around the world. We saw this with Obama. Obama gave two planes full of cash and what did they do? They went and they gave it to the Houthis in Yemen, they gave it to Hezbollah in Lebanon, they gave it to Hamas in Gaza, they put it in Iraq and Syria. We're getting ready to see terrorism go up, and you're getting ready to see Americans overseas much less safe because he (Biden) put a bounty on every American's head. It's unthinkable, it's irresponsible, it's incredibly reckless."
