Visiting US senators hailed Slovenia today for being on the right side of history in the war in Ukraine. Completing a multi-day visit to Slovenia, US senators Bob Menendez and Lindsey Graham said "the US appreciates what Slovenia has done for Ukraine". The US delegation was made up of nine senators and one member of the House of Representatives - the highest-ranking US delegation to visit Slovenia in six years. The delegation also pledged further cooperation during Slovenia’s stint on the UN Security Council in 2024-2025, expressed support for Slovenia's role in the Western Balkans and its plans to build a second nuclear reactor in Krško, and expressed solidarity with those affected by the devastating floods.
