Lebanese President Joseph Aoun will meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., on July 21 to discuss bilateral ties, security, and economic developments in Lebanon. A senior Lebanese official stated the talks would focus on direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel and the implementation of a US-sponsored framework deal aimed at solidifying the ceasefire. The US, as mediator, "has the ability to exert pressure on Israel to advance the implementation of the framework agreement." Discussions will also cover support for the Lebanese Armed Forces, Lebanon's economy, and the future of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). This visit follows the sixth round of US-sponsored Lebanese-Israeli negotiations and the signing of a framework agreement on June 26 for a phased Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory.
