THE ARABS TRUST TRUMP BECAUSE HE WAS HONEST WITH THEM AND SHOWED STRENGTH

Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said Wednesday that the Israel-UAE-Bahrain normalization agreements were made possible by a concerted strategy adopted by President Donald Trump that bypassed the Palestinians, concentrated on Iran, emphasized unapologetic support for the Jewish state and won the trust of Arab leaders.

 

Speaking to Fox News a day after the accords were signed at the White House, Haley said, “This is no fluke; this is pretty remarkable and historic.”

 

Asked what was different about the president’s strategy from his predecessors’ unsuccessful efforts, Haley replied, “The difference was, go back to the first foreign policy speech the president gave, it was to the Arab community, and he said: Let us all work together in the name of peace. And he did something no other president has done. Rather than focus on the Palestinians, which is what every president has thought they had to do to negotiate peace, he focused on Iran.”

 

“He brought all of the Arab countries together and said: Let’s all fight against terrorism,” Haley added. “And that’s what this was. This was about the fact that this peace deal came together simply out of the fact they trusted the president. They trusted him because he got out of the Iran deal; they trusted him because he was honest with them; they trusted him because he showed strength in a time when we needed it.”

 

Addressing Trump’s decision to move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, Haley said it was part of the president’s policy of “honesty” with the Arab states.

 

“The president’s idea to peace was being honest and acknowledging truths, which was moving the embassy to the capital of Israel, which was Jerusalem,” she noted. “It was getting out of the Iran deal. … And it was bringing them together in the name of: Let’s do away with terrorism. The number one sponsor of terrorism is Iran, and if we’re going to all get together and do this, we have to start acknowledging the truth. And that’s what the president did.”

 

Drawing on her experience at the UN, Haley stated, “I’m telling you, if you go back to my first year at the United Nations at the start of this administration, the hurdles that it took to get from that moment, where the Arab countries were condemning Israel every other day, to the idea that we’re watching the leaders of Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates come together in the name of peace — absolutely monumental, historic, definitely a legacy point for President Trump.”

China sees Joe Biden as ‘a pushover,’ Nikki Haley says

China sees Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as "a pushover," former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Wednesday.

 

“I mean, there's a reason China wants Biden to win,” Haley told “America’s Newsroom.”

 

“They see him as the nice guy. They see him as a pushover. They see him as the guy who literally worked with Obama and led an anti-Israel resolution after they lost the election in December. They see them as sending planefuls of cash to Iran, their number one threat. They see them as going along with any trade deal just to say they did it,” Haley said.

 

Haley was responding to President Trump on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday saying Biden "is shot."

 

"Let's face it. We can't have a man who is shot because, you know, who is not shot: Putin, President Xi, Kim Jong Un, they're not shot. They're world-class chess players. This guy is shot. Everyone knows it," Trump said.

 

Host Sandra Smith said the president's comments reminded her of Haley's speech to the Republican National Convention last month.

 

“This president has a record of strength and success,” Haley said addressing the convention. “The former vice president has a record of weakness and failure. Joe Biden is good for Iran and ISIS, great for Communist China, and he’s a godsend to everyone who wants America to apologize, abstain and abandon our values.”

 

Once again contrasting Biden's handling of foreign policy in the Obama administration to the president, Haley on Wednesday praised Trump for not giving U.S. adversaries on the international stage a pass.

 

“[Trump] doesn't give a pass to China on intellectual property. He doesn't give a pass to Russia on their poisoning or trying to work with Venezuela or any other deals that they're doing in Syria. He doesn't give a pass to Iran where they say, ‘Oh, if you give us money, we'll be nice.' He doesn't believe them. And he is being honest with Arab countries and saying, ‘Look, I respect you. I acknowledge you. But we have to come together on how we're going to fight terrorism,'" Haley said.

 

Haley went on to say, "I think strong leaders are fearful of the president. I think weak leaders appreciate the leadership. And I think everybody knows what they're gonna get with a Biden administration. It's exactly what they got under the Obama administration.”

 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Of all the prospective candidates for president, Nikki far outshines any of them.
