In brief
At the funeral of long‑time Republican Senator Lindsay Graham, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington DC. Both leaders will meet with former President Donald Trump, each addressing a separate international conflict: Zelensky will focus on the war in Ukraine, while Netanyahu will discuss the conflict in Iran. BBC’s North America editor Sarah Smith highlights how Senator Graham’s influence shaped U.S. policy in both areas and outlines what the leaders hope to achieve in the capital. The visits signal continued U.S. engagement in global security matters, even after Trump’s departure from office.
