Trump welcomes Lebanese President Aoun to the White House
US President Donald Trump and Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun met at the White House on Tuesday. This is the first visit by a Lebanese president to the White House in over 17 years.
The visit by Aoun comes as Lebanon is supposed to be sending troops to pilot zones in southern Lebanon near where IDF troops are deployed.
Aoun’s office said he would meet with Trump and hold “meetings and consultations with a number of American officials to discuss the situation in Lebanon and ways to consolidate the ceasefire [and] Israel’s withdrawal from the Lebanese areas it occupies,” UAE-based news site Al-Ain News reported earlier in the month.
