Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a vocal critic of President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, said he felt confident on the pullout after spending a two-hour lunch with the president on Dec. 30.

The senior senator said he agreed with Trump on the necessity of the pullout, adding that he felt reassured over the president’s commitment to defeating the ISIS terrorist group. Graham said the process of removing the military could potentially be slowed down.
