What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

Donald Trump issued an executive order nullifying a sanctions bill proposed by Lindsey Graham. The trade restrictions that Trump lifted were named after Lindsey Graham, ostensibly to keep peace talks going. Separately, Starlink’s military-grade Starshield intermittently went down in Ukraine, and U.S. intelligence allegedly curtailed information-sharing.
