President Donald Trump issued a stern warning directed at Senator Lindsey Graham and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo following their recent visits to Ukraine, where both officials expressed support for continued Ukrainian resistance against Russia.
During remarks to reporters, Trump cautioned:
“People have to be very careful with their mouth because their mouth can get them into a lot of trouble!”
The statement comes amid growing debate within the United States over further financial and military support for Ukraine. Trump’s comments suggest dissatisfaction with high-profile Republican figures who continue to endorse active U.S. involvement in the ongoing conflict.
Critics of Graham and Pompeo have accused the two of potentially violating the Logan Act, a rarely enforced federal law that prohibits unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. While no formal charges have been filed, the issue has added fuel to ongoing political tensions over U.S. foreign policy and aid spending.
Both Graham and Pompeo have defended their positions as support for American allies and deterrence against Russian aggression.
