John McCain and Lindsey Graham have been two of President Trump’s loudest critics within the Republican party, but following a private dinner at the White House with the president Monday night, both men expressed confidence in Trump’s seriousness about addressing a major foreign policy crisis: the threat from North Korea.
« Pres @realDonaldTrump is NOT going to let the nutjob in North Korea develop a missile – with a nuclear weapon on top – that can hit the US, » Graham tweeted on Tuesday.
« North Korea was not bred by Donald Trump. North Korea was bred by failure after failure of three presidents to conclude agreements with North Korea which they said would end the problem but obviously didn’t, » McCain told reporters in the Capitol. » [Trump is] the one that’s going to have to address the failure. »
McCain added that the fact that Trump is hosting all members of the Senate at the White House Wednesday to discuss the North Korean threat shows that he grasps the seriousness of the situation.
