Washington, (EFE).- Nikki Haley, the candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidential election of the United States, took advantage of the Valentine’s Day celebrations this Wednesday to mock the former president and pre-candidate Donald Trump (2017-2021), whom she called a lover of dictators. .
“Happy Valentine’s Day to dictators around the world from Donald Trump! “Over the years, Trump has professed his love for the world’s most brutal dictators and praised their strength and leadership skills,” said the former US representative to the United Nations (UN).
Haley Vs. Trump
Haley, who has criticized the former president in recent weeks, sent a statement accompanied by pictures in which Trump appears with politicians such as Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin or North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. .
And Trump’s texts also refer to him, such as some words spoken in 2019: “(Kim) wrote me beautiful letters, and they are great letters. We fell in love,” Trump later pointed out about the North Korean leader.
Of Xi, Haley recalled, Trump said, “He’s as strong as granite, he’s strong, I know him well, President Xi of China… What can I say: He leads 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. .”
While Trump has assured the Taliban that they are “good fighters”. “You have to give them credit for that. They have been fighting for a thousand years. “All they do is fight,” he said.
And from Putin: “I called Russian President Putin to congratulate him on his election victory (in the past, Obama also called him). The fake news media is scared because they want me to criticize them. You are wrong!”.
Although Trump is the favorite as the Republican nominee, Haley has positioned herself as a major contender in recent weeks, after dropping other candidates such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Trump is very close to winning his party’s nomination for the November presidential elections after his sweeping victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and the US Virgin Islands.
The two candidates will face off again in South Carolina’s primary on February 24.
