POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gathered in Washington, D.C., to honor the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The event took place at the Washington National Cathedral.

Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks during the ceremony, alongside Fox News’ Sean Hannity and other prominent conservative leaders. The gathering underscores the international respect — and political alliances Graham cultivated during his tenure.

“Senator Lindsey Graham was a steadfast ally — and a true patriot. His contributions to both domestic and international policy will be remembered for generations,” Trump said in a prepared statement.

Netanyahu and Zelenskyy, both close allies of the United States, expressed their condolences and praised Graham’s efforts in fostering global cooperation. “Lindsey Graham was a friend to Israel — and a champion of democracy. His legacy will continue to inspire us,” Netanyahu remarked.

The ceremony also featured tributes from various U.S. senators — and representatives, highlighting Graham’s significant impact on American politics. The event was marked by a moment of silence — and a rendition of the national anthem.
