Kelly Piquet, the partner of three-time F1 World Champion Max Verstappen, has been using her social media platform to advocate for peace and condemn the ongoing conflicts worldwide. Her recent response to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen‘s assertion that the United States can financially support multiple wars has garnered significant attention.

A few days ago, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen indicated that the United States is “absolutely” financially capable of supporting military efforts in Israel and Ukraine despite ongoing conflicts. Yellen emphasized that the strong U.S. economy could sustain such support. She cited reduced inflation and a robust labor market with low unemployment as supporting the claim that the U.S. could provide military assistance to these countries.

Yellen also emphasized the need for swift legislative action to release funds for these military efforts. The Senator’s stance suggests that, from an economic standpoint, the United States has the means to allocate resources for war-related expenses. Kelly Piquet criticized this perspective, highlighting a perceived inconsistency in the allocation of funds. 

Piquet, who has been vocal about her opposition to wars and her concerns about humanitarian crises, shared her Instagram stories to share a tweet that challenged the U.S. government’s stance on war funding. The tweet highlighted the contradiction in allocating funds for wars while claiming financial constraints in other areas, such as not revoking student loans. The Brazilian model wrote on her Instagram story

Healthcare? Childcare? Housing? Nah, let’s just tax dollars for another war.

This statement by Piquet underscores her disapproval of the U.S. Senator’s comments regarding funding for additional wars. It reflects a sentiment shared by many Americans who have questioned the government’s priorities, especially when it comes to allocating resources for war efforts rather than addressing pressing domestic issues.

One of her recent Instagram stories featured a video in which Rehma Zein confronted a CNN correspondent for what she saw as media manipulation. Zein emphasized that the voices of the afflicted often go unheard, with media outlets focusing on surface-level aspects of complex issues. This aligns with Piquet’s broader message of advocating for a deeper understanding of the consequences of conflicts and the importance of addressing their underlying causes.

As the daughter of Nelson Piquet Sr., and as a popular model, she has garnered a lot of followers and made sure to put this to good use. She has consistently used her platform to oppose war and draw attention to the suffering of Palestinians in the Middle East conflict. She has joined the chorus of voices calling for a peaceful resolution and alleviating humanitarian crises in the region.
