Sources: Sen. Lindsey Graham 'clearly frustrated' over lack of Trump admin action against Russia, Iran
Senator Lindsey Graham criticized Danish and Greenland leaders with harsh language during a private Munich meeting, expressing frustration over stalled U.S. actions on Russia and Iran.
- On Saturday at the Bayerischer Hof hotel in Munich, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham engaged in a profanity-laden tirade during a meeting with Mette Frederiksen and Jens‑Frederik Nielsen, leaving attendees shaken for hours.
- Graham's frustration stemmed from sources saying President Donald Trump's inaction on Russia and Iran stalled the bipartisan Russian sanctions bill he championed in the Senate for nearly a year.
- Attendees reported Graham directed a demeaning `little lady` remark at Frederiksen, mocked Nielsen by yawning in his face, and sources believed he probably had a drink before the outburst.
- Senate reactions included Elissa Slotkin, Democratic senator, who reportedly left the meeting in protest, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune committed to bringing the sanctions bill to the floor soon.
- Historically, Graham has oscillated in his relationship with Donald Trump, balancing his pro-NATO stance with earlier Greenland crisis warnings in January and later reassurance to Danish diplomats.
