Graham has been divided on a number of Trump decision but now it appears he’s had a change of heart.
In a powerful message to the American people, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) praised President Trump’s leadership this weekend, celebrating his administration’s “relentless and honorable” effort to secure a peace agreement in war-torn Ukraine.
“I greatly appreciate President Trump’s tireless work to end the brutal war unleashed by Putin’s barbaric invasion,” Graham declared in a post on X, America’s fastest-growing social platform.
Graham also sounded the alarm on Russia’s economy, unveiling a bipartisan bill co-sponsored by nearly 60 lawmakers. This legislation would slap crushing secondary tariffs on any nation daring to purchase Russia’s oil, gas, uranium, or other vital resources — a decisive move to strangle Putin’s war machine.
“The Senate stands ready to act overwhelmingly if Russia refuses an honorable and lasting peace,” Graham warned, signaling broad support across party lines.
Trump Leads the World Stage — Meeting Zelensky Face-to-Face
Graham’s comments came just after President Trump’s historic meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vatican, where both leaders paid their respects at the funeral of Pope Francis.
It marked their first in-person exchange since tensions erupted during a fiery White House encounter earlier this year — and highlighted Trump’s firm but fair diplomacy.
Insiders reveal Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress in the peace talks, especially as critical American interests — including major mineral deals — hang in the balance.
Trump Demands Immediate End to Violence — Calls Out Putin and Zelensky
The situation reached a boiling point last Thursday when Russian missiles struck Kyiv, killing at least eight innocent civilians. President Trump wasted no time condemning the attacks in a hard-hitting post on Truth Social.
President Trump expressed his frustration over the recent violence in Kyiv, writing, “The Russian strikes on Kyiv are unacceptable and poorly timed. Vladimir, this must stop! With 5,000 soldiers dying every week, it’s time to finalize the Peace Deal!” His direct message once again demonstrated true leadership — speaking the hard truths when it matters most.
On Saturday, President Trump hinted that Putin might be trying to play games at the negotiating table — a stark warning that this President knows how to deal with adversaries.
Graham Doubles Down: America Must Finish What It Started
Senator Graham, one of the strongest pro-American voices in the Senate, posted a screenshot of Trump’s powerful message, backing continued support for Ukraine’s right to defend itself.
“If we abandon Ukraine now, it would be worse than Afghanistan,” Graham warned in a pointed statement last month, referencing the disastrous Biden-era withdrawal that left Americans disillusioned.
“But until a real ceasefire is reached, Ukraine deserves intelligence, weapons, and American strength behind it,” Graham affirmed.
White House Stays Firm: Rubio, Vance Threaten to Walk if Russia Stalls
Following the Oval Office clash between Trump and Zelensky, U.S. aid to Ukraine was briefly frozen. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance have since made it crystal clear: if Putin and Zelensky refuse a fair deal, the United States will not be strung along.
America’s position today is one of strength — thanks to President Trump’s bold leadership.
