Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 21, 2026 — President Donald Trump met with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House to discuss matters of U.S. assistance for Lebanon, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict with Israel and the significant presence of Hezbollah.

During the meeting, President Trump pledged substantial U.S. help for Lebanon. However, specific details regarding the nature or extent of this assistance were not provided.

The meeting took place while President Aoun was visiting Washington. A key objective of Aoun’s visit was to secure long-term calm and to garner support for the Lebanese military. This support is especially crucial in regions that have historically been influenced by Hezbollah.

The United States has been actively involved in mediating discussions between Lebanon and Israel. These diplomatic efforts are focused on establishing a framework agreement that would facilitate an Israeli troop withdrawal and lead to the disarmament of Hezbollah.
