Republican candidate Nikki Haley attacks Trump for remaining silent after Navalny's death

During the Republican Party primaries, Nikki Haley, a candidate, criticized her main rival, former President Donald Trump, for not speaking out about the death of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny. Haley, a former US ambassador to the UN under Trump, accused him of remaining silent despite promising to support Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. She further highlighted Trump’s numerous social media posts about unrelated matters while ignoring important issues like Navalny’s murder.

Haley previously condemned Putin for Navalny’s death and criticized Trump for his praise and defense of the Russian president. Following Navalny’s death, international leaders expressed their condolences, although doubts remained due to the limited information from official Russian sources.

Meanwhile, Trump and Haley are competing for the Republican Party candidacy for the upcoming US presidential elections. Trump is currently the frontrunner and leads in the polls, positioning him as a favorite to face off against President Joe Biden in November.
