Lebanese President Joseph Aoun meets US President Donald Trump in Washington

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun arrived in Washington for a four‑day official visit and met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House. The talks focused on the recently signed U.S.–Israel–Lebanon trilateral framework, which calls for a phased Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the disarmament of the Iran‑backed Hezbollah militia. Trump announced that the United States has “concrete plans” to help Lebanon oust Hezbollah and pledged substantial support for Lebanon’s security and reconstruction. He also said he would speak with Hezbollah if President Aoun requested it. In addition, Trump warned Iran of continued U.S. actions and mentioned taking “care of” Houthi threats to Saudi ports. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio also met Aoun, reaffirming Washington’s commitment to the framework and Lebanon’s sovereignty. The meeting marks the first visit by a Lebanese head of state to the White House since 2009.
