🗞️ In-depth summary

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he is directing his administration to lift the ban on all US airline carriers flying directly to Lebanon. This decision follows a high-level meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. US flights to Lebanon had been suspended since 1985 after the hijacking of TWA Flight 847, which was forced to land in Beirut, resulting in the death of a US Navy diver. This move mirrors a similar action taken in January when Trump ordered the lifting of a ban on US passenger air service to Venezuela after the capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro.
