Senator Lindsey Graham died unexpectedly on Saturday in Washington after telling Donald Trump he 'can't die now' because of unfinished work on Russia sanctions and an ambitious push to normalise relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, according to report.
The several frenetic weeks in which Graham, one of Trump's closest foreign policy confidants, had thrown himself into shuttle diplomacy, trying to stitch together what he believed could be a defining Middle East realignment. Citing people briefed on his final conversations, reported that Graham had been moving between Ukraine, the Gulf and Washington, working phones and back-channels while also pressing Congress to toughen sanctions against Russia.
