Speaking at the Hudson Institute in Washington, a conservative think tank, Haley delivered a scathing critique of President Joe Biden and Republicans on foreign policy. During her speech, she made no mention of the elephant in the room: Trump. But in a fireside chat afterward, the moderator, Peter Rough, asked Haley who she believed would do a better job in the White House. Haley paused before carefully continuing her answer.

In addition, Iranian proxies have initiated attacks against U.S. interests throughout the region from inside Iraq, making Monday’s meeting between Biden and Iraqi Prime Minister Shia al-Sudani all the more critical. The talks will include a discussion of regional stability and future U.S. troop deployments but will also focus on economic, trade and energy issues that have become a major priority for Iraq’s government, according to U.S. officials.
