Senator Lindsey Graham said after meeting with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis about a deadly ambush in Niger that the war on terrorism will expand with more aggressive rules of engagement.
“The war is morphing," the South Carolina Republican told reporters Friday in Washington. “You are going to see more actions in Africa, not less. You are going to see more aggression by the United States toward our enemies, not less. We are going to have decisions being made not in the White House but out in the field.”
