From The Hill: Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) said Sunday that President Trump told him that he plans to brief members of Congress on possible military action in Latin America, including potentially shifting attacks targeting Venezuela from the sea to land.
Graham, speaking to Margaret Brennan on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” said land strikes are “a real possibility” and that the president will brief lawmakers on the possible operations in the region when he returns from Asia later this week.
“There will be a congressional briefing about a potential expanding from the sea to the land. I support that idea, but I think [Trump] has all the authority he needs,” Graham added.
Graham fired back at Democrats who claim Trump is committing “murder” by blowing up the drug cartel boats.
“That couldn’t be further from the truth. Our military is doing exactly what they should: Following lawful orders to protect Americans from narco-terrorists who seek to wreak havoc on our communities,” Graham declared.
“I think President Trump has made a decision that Venezuela and Columbia have been safe havens for narco-terrorists for too long,” he said.
