WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on President Trump’s recognition of Venezuelan National Assembly President Juan Guaido as the Interim President of Venezuela.

Graham said:

“By standing with the people of Venezuela, President Trump stands for freedom.

“Strong American leadership is indispensable in moments like this.  History will record that the Trump Administration was on the side of the people yearning to be free – not with their oppressor.

“President Trump and his administration have risen to this historic moment.

“Stand Firm.”
