## Resource

Senator Lindsey Graham, a towering figure in American politics and one of Trump’s most loyal allies, has died suddenly from a brief illness. A Senate veteran since 2003, Graham shaped U.S. foreign policy with fierce focus on Iran and Russia, helped craft critical sanctions, and recently met with Zelenskyy in Ukraine — his tenth visit. Once a Trump critic, he became a staunch supporter, chaired key Senate committees, and wielded influence through reconciliation. His death leaves a profound void in Washington and among colleagues, as his family requests privacy during this sorrowful time.
