Haley has said in the past that she would support Trump if he won the Republican nomination.

He also noted President Trump's silence on the issue of Navalny's death.
“Either he stands by Putin and thinks it's great that Putin killed one of his political opponents, or he doesn't think it's that big of a deal. Either of those. “I'm concerned about that. Either one is the problem,” she said.
