Trump And Lebanon Flights
Trump meets Lebanon's president and pushes to restore direct flights and reduce tensions.
Summary
President Donald Trump said on July 21 he would direct his administration to allow U.S. airlines to resume direct flights to Lebanon, ending a suspension imposed more than 40 years ago after the hijacking of TWA Flight 847. The announcement followed Trump’s White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who was concluding a four-day Washington visit. Aoun sought U.S. support for long-term calm after months of Israel-Hezbollah fighting and for Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Trump also said Israel had begun withdrawing, while the leaders discussed Hezbollah’s disarmament.
