U.S. President Donald Trump attended the funeral ceremony for Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away on July 11, held at the Washington National Cathedral. Trump delivered a speech in memory of Graham at the funeral, which was also attended by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump stated that he had been close friends with Graham, especially over the last 10 years, and expressed his satisfaction with this. He said, “He had an extremely hawkish stance. For over 30 years, no significant event occurred in this capital without Lindsey Graham's knowledge. During the most extraordinary period in Republican history, no bill became law without Graham's say.”
It was announced that after Graham's funeral in Washington, he would be taken to his hometown in South Carolina and buried in a private ceremony organized by his family today.
