前联合国大使妮基·黑利试图与唐纳德·特朗普划清界限她以前的老板,共和党初选的领先者,在接受美国广播公司“本周”节目主持人乔纳森·卡尔的新采访时说。
与特朗普的顶级批评者新罕布什尔州州长克里斯·苏努努一起出现本周早些时候谁支持她哈利说,她和前总统在几个方面存在分歧。
海莉已经获得了一些动力在民意测验中但仍以两位数的差距落后于特朗普。与前新泽西州长克里斯·克里斯蒂等其他一些初选候选人不同,哈利没有集中精力严厉批评特朗普的记录或性格,而是经常暗示他会给白宫带来“混乱”。
卡尔在采访中向她强调了这一立场,采访于周四录制,将于周日在“本周”播出
“本周,在你们的一个市政厅,有一位选民站起来说,‘你真的需要加大对唐纳德·特朗普的攻击,你需要大力抨击他,而不只是说这是‘混乱’。很有意思,因为我刚听你说他是正确时间的正确总统。你会对那些说你真的需要划清界限的选民说些什么?”卡尔问道。
“我是说,你也是其中之一。你们都想让我要么一直爱他,要么一直恨他,”哈利反驳道。
“我只是要求你回应一个新罕布什尔州的选民,”卡尔回答道。
哈利说,她告诉选民,“反特朗普者希望我恨他,支持特朗普者希望我爱他”,然后详细说明了她认为两人意见不一致的几个方面,从国家安全到经济,再到特朗普在世界舞台上的行为。
“有些事情我同意总统的意见。我和他有着良好的工作关系。有些事情我不同意。她说:“我不同意这样的事实,是的,在他执政期间,我们的经济很好,但他让我们背上了8万亿美元的债务,我们的孩子永远不会原谅我们。(减税和联邦政府对新冠肺炎的反应是这一增长的主要因素。)

在与卡尔的采访中,哈利继续攻击特朗普处理与中国关系的方式,认为他专注于贸易,尽管特朗普确实在阿片类药物上采取了几项值得注意的行动,但未能充分解决芬太尼流入美国或“古巴海岸外的间谍基地”。
海利重申了她对特朗普称赞真主党的批评,特朗普称伊朗支持的激进组织“非常聪明”,并抨击以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡。
在哈马斯对以色列发动恐怖袭击并引发战争后的几天,特朗普发表了评论,受到广泛批评.
当时,特朗普的发言人在一份声明中回应说,他“明确指出拜登和他的政府是多么无能....聪明不等于好。”
哈利告诉卡尔:“我认为你不应该赞美真主党。我不认为你应该在以色列跪下的时候批评内塔尼亚胡。我认为你不应该祝贺中国共产党成立70周年(特朗普在10月份就祝贺了)。”
“我认为,当涉及到国家安全时,我们不会赞扬暴徒。我们让他们知道我们的立场,我们让他们知道,如果他们做任何反对我们的事情,将会有地狱。“我就是这样的人。”
Nikki Haley highlights differences with Trump on China, fentanyl, national debt
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haleysought to draw a distinction with Donald Trump, her former boss and the Republican primary front-runner, in a new interview with ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl.
Appearing alongside New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a top Trump criticwho endorsed her earlier this week, Haley said that there were several areas where she and the former president disagree.
Haley has been gaining some momentumin the pollsbut still trails Trump by double digits. Unlike some other primary candidates, like former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Haley has not focused on heavily criticizing Trump's record or character but often suggests he'll bring "chaos" back to the White House.
Karl pressed her on that position in the interview, which was taped on Thursday and will air on Sunday on "This Week."
"At one of your town halls this week, there was a voter that stood up and said, 'You really need to turn it up on Donald Trump, you need to go after him hard and not just say it's 'chaos.' It's interesting, because I just heard you say that he was the right president for the right time. What do you say to voters like that that say you really need to draw that line?" Karl asked.
"I mean, you're one of those too. Y'all want me to either love him or hate him all the time," Haley shot back.
"I'm just asking you to respond to a New Hampshire voter," Karl replied.
Haley said that she told the voter that "anti-Trumpers want me to hate him, pro-Trumpers want me to love him" before detailing several fronts where she believes the two do not see eye to eye, ranging from national security to the economy to Trump's behavior on the world stage.
"There are things I agree with the president on. I had a good working relationship with him. There are things I don't agree. I don't agree with the fact that, yes, we had a good economy while he was there but he put us $8 trillion in debt that our kids are never going to forgive us for," she said. (Tax cuts and the federal government's COVID-19 response were large factors in that increase.)
In her interview with Karl, Haley went on to attack Trump for his handling of relations with China, arguing that he focused on trade and – though Trump did take several notable actions on opioids -- failed to adequately address the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. or the "spy base off our shores in Cuba."
Haley repeated her criticism of Trump's praise for Hezbollah, in which he called the Iranian-backed militant group "very smart," and his swipe at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump's comments, in the days right after Hamas launched a terror attack on Israel and sparked a war,received widespread criticism.
At the time, a Trump spokesman said in a statement in response that he "was clearly pointing out how incompetent Biden and his administration were .... Smart does not equal good."
Haley told Karl: "I don't think you should praise Hezbollah. I don't think you should criticize Netanyahu when Israel's down on her knees. I don't think you should congratulate the Chinese Communist Party on their 70th anniversary [which Trump did in October]."
"I think that when it comes to national security, we don't praise thugs. We let them know where we stand and we let them know that there will be hell to pay if they do anything against us," Haley said. "That's who I am."
