Lindsey Graham, the US senator from South Carolina and longtime ally of Donald Trump, has been noted as a significant voice on foreign policy during the Trump administration. According to reports, Graham regularly advised the president on issues such as Israel, Ukraine, and Iran. These consultations took place at the White House, which the senator visited frequently. Graham's stance is particularly notable for its strong support of Israel, with him being described as the one who justified Israel's actions. Although his influence extends more broadly, Middle East policy is one of his primary areas of interest. Graham also played a critical role in Trump's decisions regarding Ukraine and Iran, but his open backing of Israel is the most visible. As the Senate and president shaped foreign policy, Graham often acted as a bridge between the administration and Congress, influencing decisions affecting US strategic allies and adversaries.
