Hon Nikki Haley, former US Ambassador to the UN and a leading Republican politician, gave a speech at Policy Exchange on the need for Western deterrence in the face of threats from Russia, China and Iran. She warned that the West must take the hostility and strategic ambition of these powers seriously: they mean what they say.

When asked about US politicians weighing in on the UK’s Northern Ireland Protocol legislation, she said it was not the business of the US and that it should support whatever the UK choses to do on this.

The speech was covered in The Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Huff Post, Belfast Newsletter, the National Review, and Fox News.
