Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, has recently commented on the current U.S. administration’s foreign policy and transatlantic relations in a series of posts on his official X account.
On August 16, 2025, Graham wrote, “.@POTUS is practicing peace through strength and will implement an infrastructure of deterrence when this war ends—something that both Biden and Obama failed to do.” The statement underscores his support for the president’s approach to post-war deterrence and contrasts it with the policies of previous administrations.
The following day, on August 17, 2025, Graham urged more involvement from European nations. He stated, “It’s time for our European allies to step up. @POTUS is leading the way, and Europe needs to follow suit.”
Later that same day, Graham referenced former President Donald Trump’s foreign policy philosophy. He posted, “The media can spin all they want. @realDonaldTrump’s peace through strength is working, and I’m proud to stand with him.”
Senator Graham has been an outspoken advocate for robust U.S. military engagement abroad and has frequently emphasized the need for American leadership within NATO and other alliances. His recent remarks come amid ongoing debates about burden-sharing among NATO members and discussions about how best to ensure long-term security in Europe after major conflicts.
