9 hours ago
President Donald Trump is meeting with Lebanon's president at the White House as the two leaders work to advance a lasting agreement aimed at reducing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.
The meeting comes as Israel and Lebanon continue rare U.S.-mediated negotiations focused on the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon and efforts to disarm Hezbollah. The talks follow a framework agreement reached last month, but key issues remain unresolved.
Israeli forces continue to maintain positions in parts of southern Lebanon while negotiators work toward a broader security arrangement. The Trump administration has said it hopes continued diplomacy will help stabilize the region and prevent renewed fighting along the border.
