Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has suggested that United States forces "need to align" with non-European countries including Russia to enhance global security, a remark that comes amid the Biden administration's approval for millions more in military aid to assist Ukraine in fending off Russia's invasion. Haley's response came Wednesday to a question from a WMUR-TV reporter on regions of the world to which she felt the U.S. could pay more attention. A campaign spokesman said Haley misspoke. The U.S. has been upping its military aid to Ukraine as Russia's invasion enters its 16th month. In late May, President Joe Biden approved a new aid package that totals up to $300 million.

Graham appeared to have made the remarks in different parts of the conversation. But the short video by Ukraine's presidential office put them next to each other.
