🗞️ In-depth summary

US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he has directed his administration to resume direct flights to Lebanon, a service suspended over 40 years ago. This decision came shortly after hosting Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House, with Trump stating Aoun "has done a remarkable job working to transform his country." Direct flights were halted in 1985 after the hijacking of TWA Flight 847. However, the US State Department continues to advise against travel to Lebanon due to security risks, including "crime, terrorism, unrest, kidnapping, landmines, and armed conflict."
