Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has criticized former President Donald Trump's foreign policy, saying that he is "weak in the knees" on Ukraine. She has also said that she believes he will be remembered in 100 years as a "thin-skinned and easily distracted" president.

Haley made her comments during a campaign stop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on September 22, 2023. She is one of several Republicans who have announced that they are running for president in 2024, and she has been critical of Trump in recent months.
"He used to be good on foreign policy," Haley said of Trump. "And now he has started to walk it back and get weak in the knees when it comes to Ukraine."
Haley has been a strong supporter of military aid to Ukraine, while Trump has been more hesitant. She has also said that she believes Trump is not "the right president to go forward" and that she is running for president to offer a different kind of leadership.
"I agree with a lot of his policies, but I don't think he is the right president to go forward," Haley said. "He was strong when it came to foreign policy, but we've seen him get weak on Ukraine."
Trump has responded to Haley's criticism by calling her a "lightweight" and a "failure." He has also said that she is "desperate" to become president.
It is too early to say how Haley's criticism of Trump will affect her presidential campaign. She is facing an uphill battle against Trump, who remains the most popular figure in the Republican Party. However, her comments could help her to appeal to independent voters and moderate Republicans.
When asked how Trump will be remembered in 100 years, Haley said:
I think he will be remembered as a thin-skinned and easily distracted president. He was a great businessman, but he was not a great president. He was not strong on foreign policy, and he divided our country.
Whether or not Haley's prediction is accurate remains to be seen. However, her comments reflect the growing divide within the Republican Party between those who support Trump and those who are looking for a new leader.
