Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S. C.), one of President Trump ’s closest Senate allies, on Wednesday criticized the president’s recent rhetoric toward North Korea and expressed concern about ongoing negotiations on North Korea’s denuclearization.
“I’m worried that North Korea’s dividing us from South Korea. I’m worried that we’re being played here. Now I’m telling you, President Trump, enough with ‘I love you,’ ” he said while speaking at the Atlantic Festival.
“From my point of view, this love crap has to stop. There’s nothing to love about Kim Jong Un,” the senator added.
Graham’s comments were in reference to statements Trump made at a rally in West Virginia on Saturday in which he praised North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
“I like Kim, he likes me. I guess that’s okay, am I allowed to say that?” Trump asked.
“That was a big, big problem, and you know the interesting thing, and when I did it, and I was really being tough, and so was he, and we’re going back and forth, and then we fell in love.
