"We have made it very clear, we are not going to pay for reconstruction of Syria as long as there is Iranian influence there," Haley said. "We're not going to pay as long as ISIS has not been defeated, which we're almost there. We're not going to pay for reconstruction to help Russia out when this is their problem."
Haley added how Russia took responsibility for what is happening in Syria and are now have their hands out asking for money.
"What we're saying is there are a lot of things that have to happen before reconstruction is even talked about. And it's not just going to be the U.S. other countries have to weigh in. Right now, you've got a very sensitive setup. They took responsibility for this," Haley said in regards to Russia. "They've got to manage it. They can't sit there and do whatever they want, allowing the Iranians it to continue to have influence when they're the biggest sponsor of terrorism and then turn around and have their hand out, asking us for money return."
Back in August the Trump administration announced they would redirect $230 million that was intended for Syria redevelopment.

Syria needs to totally eschew Islam before they get the first buck (even in a loan).
You mean to say that the United States will pay for the reconstruction of Syria if not?
She is, of course, completely insane.
I’m very happy that Nikki Haley is at the U.N..
How about we leave all muslim countries to fend for themselves?
The US has never had any intention of spending a single cent to help rebuild Syria anyway.
As long as Iranian influence is there?
Forget that noise!
No more money to ANY foreign country that is not a verifiable friend and strategic ally of the USA.
How about we start saying we’re not going to pay for reconstruction. Period. Anywhere. We’re done trying to fix the world.
NO Were NOT going to PAY Period.
That is BS
We leveled Raqqa to take out ISIS
OK
But now the unrequited civilian misery and resentment of the destruction has fueled a new potential insurgency against us and calls across eastern Syria for tribal militia to unite
This has nothing to do with Shia
it will only add to yet more hate
I cant stand Nikki Haley
She is an embarrassment
Monies doled out over the years by the US has only created an expectation of entitlements by foreign countries.
It’s past time to crush these outrageous expectations by countries that only wish the US ill.
I was really disappointed when that Dixie flag was taken down. Now I am pleasantly surprised by her.
How dare the civilians that survived our liberating total destruction expect any aid in rebuilding?
As if it is within their power to expel Iranian militia from shia areas ( which they are not)
...”Syria needs to totally eschew Islam before they get the first buck (even in a loan)”....
Absolutely.but of course that’s not going to happen.
Let Russia rebuild it lol
I am as well. She’s in the right place at the right time.
Giving the impression of logic and wisdom.
Just yesterday Rudy Gulliani said that it was very likely we (USA) would be invading Iran soon. Today, Nikki contradicted him. It’s unfortunate that she had to do it. There is too much at stake to let a moment of unproductive Saber Rattling throw the process off kilter.
Rudy speaks too carelessly and oftentimes without facts to back him up. I’ll be glad and relieved when he finally leaves the Trump Team. Maybe he is determined to stay for at least a full year. That would be until next March or April.
Iran will never take their hands out of Syria. Assad survived only because of Iran. So saying that actually keeps us from contributing anything to their reconstruct.
She’s doing a good job thus far.I had reservations but she’s surprised me i have to say!
ISIS defunded? Democrats Outraged!!!
