Trump Orders US Flag at Half-Staff Following Senator Lindsey Graham’s Death
Donald Trump, President of the United States, on Sunday ordered the American flag at the White House to be flown at half-staff in response to the death of Senator Lindsey Graham. This gesture was made as an official tribute to the prominent Republican political figure.
American media reported that Graham passed away on the evening of Saturday, July 11, at the age of 71, following a brief and sudden illness. His office also confirmed his death through a brief statement on social media.
In recent years, Lindsey Graham was known as one of the influential Republican senators and attracted media attention for his hardline stances on foreign policy, including his critical views on Iran and strong support for Israel.
In an interview with CNN, Trump described Graham as a “staunch defender of Israel” and “a person with strong militaristic tendencies.” He also noted that he disagreed with the senator on some issues, including the continuation of the war in Ukraine.
Graham had served in the United States Senate for more than two decades and was actively involved in discussions related to foreign policy and military affairs. His death has elicited widespread reactions within U.S. political circles.
