Lebanon’s president will meet with Trump in Washington to push for Israeli troop withdrawal
Trump said the United States will keep supporting Lebanon’s army as the two leaders discuss Hezbollah disarmament and a phased Israeli withdrawal.
- On Tuesday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met President Donald Trump at the White House to present a plan seeking U.S. pressure on Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon and support for disarming Hezbollah.
- The meeting implements a June 26 framework agreement mandating Israeli withdrawals and Hezbollah's disarmament; U.S. operations began Monday in pilot zones Froun, Srifa, and Zawtar al-Gharbieh to facilitate implementation.
- Israeli military campaigns have killed more than 4,300 people since March, prompting Aoun to seek international aid and investment to strengthen the Lebanese army as the sole armed authority against Hezbollah.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Aoun on Sunday, reaffirming Washington's support for the framework and warning that Lebanon will "never be fully at peace" as long as Hezbollah remains armed.
- Trump will likely demand concrete evidence of Aoun's seriousness in removing Hezbollah-aligned officers and securing international investment, as experts view the visit as critical to stabilizing Lebanon's economy and security.
