'India Doesn't Trust Us...' | Nikki Haley Says India Has Moved Closer To Russia

Interviewed for FOX Business Network’s Making Money with Charles Payne on February 7 Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley said India perceives weakness in the US and has moved closer to Russia because it provides the country with "a lot of their military equipment."

Last month Indian sources told Reuters India is seeking to distance itself from its largest arms supplier after Russia's ability to supply munitions and spares was hobbled by the war in Ukraine.

The world's biggest arms importer is slowly turning West as the United States looks to strengthen ties in the Indo-Pacific region, hoping to contain an ascendant China by weaning the South Asian nation off a traditional dependence on Russia.

Haley, the daughter of two immigrants from India and the second person of Indian descent to serve as a state governor in the United States lost Nevada's Republican primary handily on Tuesday (February 6) even though she was the only candidate listed on the ballot.

She secured just 31% in the contest, well behind the 63% of the ballots cast for "none of these candidates," according to Nevada election officials.

You are better off as an enemy to the US, then being a friend.
Don't die my friend; don't die!

She doesn't get india one bit. India Russia relationship is deeper and stronger than what she can fathom it seems. But she is right that india wants to have strong relationship with usa. India dehyphenates the two relationships. She fails to understand that

They played it smart cause of people like you

India never wanted to be lead in the first place. They're better off without any foreign leadership and doing remarkably well for themselves. The relationship between India and Russia will always be cherished from the time it was formed. As far as trust goes then I bet most Americans have lost their trust their government.

How many Indians emigrate to the US?

There might be serious issues between US and India but Americans and Indians are great friends.

India has not moved closer to Russia, India has and always been with Russia cause India does not forget...

[Erimej]

If She wants India on Her side... Just invest a ton of dollars into various parts of India, from infrastructure to military high command

[samuelelliotmoses]

When it comes to US, one gains respect as an enemy and contempt as a friend. It is to do with the cowboy/plunder ethos of US

[shashidharh]

USA is screwed if this tart comes to power...
