Lindsey Graham, U.S. Senator from South Carolina, has recently posted a series of statements on his social media account regarding U.S. foreign policy and domestic security concerns.
On January 26, 2026, Graham expressed support for former President Trump and his administration, stating: “I pray for President Trump and his team to make the right decisions to keep America safe at this dangerous time.
History tells us the right decision is to stand by those who stand with America and sacrifice for our common cause. History also tells us that evil cannot be”.
The following day, January 27, 2026, Graham addressed ongoing developments in Syria: “Watching the deteriorating situation in Syria with great concern. The Kurds are under threat from the new Syrian government that is aligned with Turkey.
It would be a disaster for America’s reputation and national security interests to abandon the Kurds, who were the chief ally”.
Later that same day, Graham commented on federal immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota: “I appreciate @POTUS and his team — led by Tom Homan — trying to find a way to turn the temperature down in Minnesota by getting Minnesota to comply with federal law requiring cooperation between the federal government and local officials regarding national immigration matters.”
Senator Graham has been known for his advocacy on issues related to national security and U.S. alliances abroad. His remarks about Syria reflect longstanding debates within U.S. foreign policy circles about supporting Kurdish groups in the region amid shifting alliances and regional instability. Additionally, his comments regarding immigration enforcement highlight ongoing tensions between federal authorities and some state governments over cooperation on immigration laws.
