Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has urged President Trump to consider removing U.S. military bases from countries who "won't let us fly from them" during the Iran-Iran war. Graham also criticized European allies for their refusal to assist in the U.K.-Israeli military operation. This comes after Graham suggested removing bases after President Trump said he was "right about asking that."
