Trump US at Crossroads
Nabil Boumonsef believes that, whatever the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections, Lebanon will not automatically become a priority for Washington, despite its current interest in the country and its sponsorship of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations. He points to three historical episodes: the collapse of the May 17, 1983 agreement despite U.S. backing; Washington’s acceptance of Syrian tutelage after the Taif Agreement; and then Resolution 1559, which paved the way for the Cedar Revolution. He concludes that continued U.S. support depends on Lebanon’s actions and its authorities’ commitment to their pledges. Inaction could prompt Washington to distance itself once again, while Republicans and Democrats do not differ greatly in their approach to Lebanon.
