The Indian-American presidential aspirant also said that India has played smart in the current global situation and stayed close with Russia.
Nikki Haley, in an interview with Fox Business News, said that, as of now, India sees the United States as weak, reported news agency PTI.
“I have got to say, I have dealt with India too. I have talked with Modi. India wants to be a partner with us. They don’t want to be a partner with Russia. The problem is, India doesn’t trust us to win. They don’t trust us to lead. They see right now that we’re weak. India has always played it smart. They have played it smart, and they have stayed close with Russia, because that’s where they get a lot of their military equipment,” she said.
“When we start to lead again, when we start to get the weakness out and stop putting our head in the sand, that’s when our friends, India, Australia, New Zealand, all of them will — and Israel, Japan, South Korea — all of them want to do that…,” Haley said.
