Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley took aim at President Donald Trump for his claim he could end the Ukraine war in a day, calling it “ridiculous.”
During an appearance on FNC’s “You World” on Tuesday, host Neil Cavuto asked Haley, “What do you think Donald Trump meant by ending it in a day?”
Haley responded:
“I think it’s ridiculous. He knows that he can’t end the war in a day. Everybody else knows he can’t end the war in a day.”
“He says these crazy things. It’s not true,” Haley said.
She continued:
“We’ve got a realistic situation on our hands. The way we end the war is to get Putin out. It’s not to appease Putin.”
“The way we end the war is to be strong and work on our alliance. When I worked on dealing with Iran at the United Nations, or when we focused on dealing with Russia, with Syria, when we had to negotiate with the Security Council and getting the largest sanctions against a country in a generation, with North Korea, we didn’t do it from a point of weakness,” Haley continued.
“We did it with a point of strength.”
Haley added:
“It wasn’t just strength from the U.S., I had to strengthen the spines of the Europeans to let them know our goal is to prevent war.”
“The only way to do that is with strength. You have to take these dictators on,” she added.
“You don’t run from them. That’s what Biden has done every step of the way. He’s run from Putin. That’s what has dragged this war out. Let’s end this war.”
Watch
Trump declared he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours when reelected in 2024.
Trump described the war in Ukraine as a “disaster,” adding that he believes the death toll is much higher than what’s being reported.
“You don’t knock down a whole city and say two people got hurt,” Trump told Farage.
“Thousands of people are being killed” in bombed Ukrainian cities. “That war has to stop,” Trump said.
Trump then declared that he would find it “easy” to end the conflict if elected president.
“I will end that war in one day, It will take 24 hours,” Trump said of the Ukraine conflict.
