Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Friday that he has never been more proud of President Donald Trump as he was when the president stood up to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky during their meeting in the Oval Office earlier in the day. Graham made the remarks standing outside the White House after Trump canceled the remaining events with Zelensky following the spat between the world leaders, which played out on live television. Graham said that he told Zelensky earlier in the morning to not take the bait during the meeting and that he thought what happened was a “complete and utter disaster.” “I have never been more proud of the president,” he said. “We want to be helpful. What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don’t know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again. I don’t think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with the way he handled the meeting, the way he confronted the president was just over the top.” “So I think the relationship between Ukraine and America is important, vitally important, but can Zelensky do a deal with the United States after what I saw?” he continued. “I don’t know.” Graham said that he thought Zelensky either needed to “resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change.” WATCH: Senator @LindseyGrahamSC: “I have NEVER been more proud of the President.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino released a video this week showing the United States military hunting down an Islamic terrorist overseas. “In President Trump’s first week back in office he told the world that we were going to find the Jihadi terrorists that mean to do Americans harm and bring them ultimate Justice,” Scavino posted on X. “In just the past week, under the leadership of our great Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, our warfighters have killed five more high value targets,” he continued. “The dead terrorists include two members of Al Qaeda in Syria, and three members of ISIS in Somalia.” “If you’re a Jihadi who wants to hurt us, it doesn’t matter where you hide,” he continued. “America’s warriors will not stop hunting you—until they find you!” In President Trump’s first week back in office he told the world that we were going to find the Jihadi terrorists that mean to do Americans harm and bring them ultimate Justice.

I did!” “The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that ‘WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!’” Trump concluded. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said in a statement that the strike was carried out in the Golis mountains in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia. “Our initial assessment is that multiple operatives were killed in the airstrikes and no civilians were harmed,” the statement said. “This action further degrades ISIS’s ability to plot and conduct terrorist attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians and sends a clear signal that the United States always stands ready to find and eliminate terrorists who threaten the United States and our allies, even as we conduct robust border-protection and many other operations under President Trump’s leadership.”
