WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) tonight made this statement on news regarding North Korea.

“After numerous discussions with President Trump, I firmly believe his strong stand against North Korea and its nuclear aggression gives us the best hope in decades to resolve this threat peacefully. 

“I am not naive.  I understand that if the past is an indication of the future, North Korea will be all talk and no action.  However, I do believe that North Korea now believes President Trump will use military force if he has to.

“A word of warning to North Korean President Kim Jong Un — the worst possible thing you can do is meet with President Trump in person and try to play him.  If you do that, it will be the end of you — and your regime.”
