WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.

“I completely support the Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty due to Russian noncompliance.

“Russia has been in violation of the treaty for years and the Obama Administration refused to do anything about it.  It’s a bad deal for America when Russia cheats and the United States complies.”
