United States Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has died at the age of 71. The news was confirmed by multiple Italian news outlets. Graham was a prominent figure in United States foreign policy and was closely associated with President Donald Trump, who described him as a true patriot.

According to the newspaper Libero, Graham was at Trump's side in January to discuss the Cuba dossier. This detail was not reported by other sources examined.

International reactions to Graham's death included tributes from several leaders. According to la Repubblica, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel loses a great friend, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Graham a true defender of freedom. The same newspaper reported that portions of the Maga movement base advanced conspiracy theories suggesting the Kremlin or Tehran may have been involved in Graham's death, claims for which no evidence has been provided.

In Italy, according to Il Giornale, a government undersecretary stated that relations with the Trump administration and the United States remain solid, and identified China as the real strategic problem. The statement came following criticism directed at Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and a mission cancelled by a regional authority, details reported only by that outlet.

The convergence of the sources examined confirms Graham's death and his central role in United States foreign policy alongside Trump, while the remaining details remain attributed to individual outlets.
