Aoun departs for Washington to meet Trump
President Joseph Aoun on Saturday left Beirut for Washington, where he is expected to meet U.S. President Donald Trump, the Lebanese presidency said, after talks between Lebanon and Israel wrapped up in Italy.
Aoun will hold discussions "with several American officials on the situation in Lebanon and ways to strengthen the ceasefire," particularly in Lebanon's south, as well as on "the withdrawal of Israel from the Lebanese regions it occupies," the presidency said.
