Trump promises Lebanon 'a lot' of aid during Aoun's White House visit

U.S. President Donald Trump promised substantial assistance to Lebanon during a White House meeting with Lebanese President Michel Aoun, calling it a significant commitment. Trump asserted that Lebanon has endured mistreatment and will now be treated with the respect it deserves.

We will help him a lot.

Aoun, the first Lebanese president to visit the White House since 2009, traveled to Washington to advocate for lasting peace in Lebanon. His visit occurred amidst ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a powerful Iranian-backed political movement in Lebanon.

Trump's remarks, made during the final day of Aoun's four-day visit, offered no specific details on the aid. The U.S. supports peace in Lebanon but is also navigating heightened tensions with Iran, which has destabilized much of the Middle East. Lebanon and Israel are implementing a phased framework agreement, brokered by the U.S. on June 26, aimed at ending hostilities and disarming Hezbollah.
