President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have met to discuss Ukraine producing its own weapons amid its ongoing war with Russia. Zelenskyy called it a “good meeting.” Tuesday's White House sit-down followed a NATO summit in Turkey, where Trump announced the U.S. will allow Ukraine to make Patriot defense systems. Zelenskyy thanked Trump for the support and emphasized the importance of diplomacy. Trump later said the meeting went “very well!” The meeting coincided with Zelenskyy's visit to Washington for Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's funeral. Zelenskyy met with senators after Graham’s funeral.

President Donald Trump remembers Sen. Lindsey Graham as “a giant of the United States Senate" and a "true American original.” Trump joined foreign leaders, lawmakers and others at a funeral service for Graham on Tuesday at Washington National Cathedral. In his remarks, Trump said Graham was “the first person to make you laugh and one of the last people that you’ve really ever wanted to fight.” Earlier Tuesday, Graham’s flag-draped casket arrived for a tribute at the U.S. Capitol, where the Republican served for more than 30 years. Graham will be buried Wednesday in his home state of South Carolina. He died July 11 at age 71.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has been removed from office. The vote Friday to oust British barrister Karim Khan came nearly two years after sexual misconduct allegations against him first emerged. Khan was accused of sexual misconduct with a female aide, allegations he has denied. By a large majority, the ICC’s 125-member states ousted Khan, the first time a chief prosecutor has ever been removed from office. The decision comes at a time when the global tribunal is under enormous pressure, including a campaign by the United States to “dismantle” the ICC, which was established to prosecute people responsible for humanity’s worst crimes.
