Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) urged European nations to “get behind President Trump to punish Putin,” following reports of Russia violating NATO airspace during its attacks on Ukraine.

In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Graham stressed that unity between the United States and its European allies is critical to countering Moscow’s aggression.

“Europe must get behind President Trump,” Graham said, framing the transatlantic partnership as the key to holding Russia accountable.

The senator’s remarks come as tensions rise across Eastern Europe, with Russia’s escalation testing NATO’s security commitments. While details of a broader response are still developing, Graham’s comments underscore growing calls in Washington for coordinated action against Moscow.
