Qawoun Aims for Trump Backing on Lebanon
The visit of Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to the White House focused on strengthening U.S. support for security and stability in Lebanon, particularly through the implementation of the framework agreement signed in June 2026, which stipulates a gradual Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in exchange for enhanced Lebanese Army authority and presence in the region. Aoun emphasized that the goal of this phase is to establish a permanent peace with Israel, and he requested American backing to increase the capabilities of the Lebanese military and expand its deployment. Trump assured continued support for these efforts, underscoring the importance of strengthening military institutions to achieve stability. The two leaders also discussed Hezbollah’s weapons and its future, with Trump hinting at his readiness for direct communication with the group if Aoun requested it. Additionally, Trump issued threats to Iran, particularly regarding its nuclear program, warning of possible attacks on its facilities. The meeting concentrated on advancing peace efforts and supporting Lebanon’s sovereignty, while addressing Iran’s nuclear escalation. It was reaffirmed that the U.S. will take firm measures to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons, along with warnings about threats to navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
