Lebanon’s Aoun to Make First Trip to Trump’s White House With Hezbollah Disarmament Plan

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun will visit President Donald Trump at the White House on July 21, marking the first meeting between a Lebanese president and Trump’s administration in nearly two decades. Aoun arrives with a Hezbollah disarmament approach meant to address a central U.S. demand, while also seeking American backing for Lebanon’s stability and sovereignty. The talks are expected to center on a US-brokered Israel-Lebanon framework agreement signed in late June, as negotiations and hostilities continue to shape the delicate next steps.
