Lebanese President Joseph Aoun will meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House to propose a plan for disarming Hezbollah and securing an Israeli troop withdrawal from Lebanon. This marks Aoun's first White House visit and his first face-to-face talks with Trump. Aoun, who previously commanded Lebanon's U.S.-backed military, will present a written proposal outlining how Hezbollah's weapons could be decommissioned. He also plans to ask Trump to "exert the necessary pressure on Israel" to implement a U.S.-brokered agreement from June 26, which aims to disarm Hezbollah, arrange an Israeli withdrawal, and foster peaceful relations. This meeting occurs amidst ongoing Israeli occupation in southern Lebanon and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Lebanese following Israeli attacks.
