We redirected them toward trade, not war.”

Trump expressed U.S. commitment to supporting Lebanon’s economic recovery, stating, We’re ready to help Lebanon achieve stability and a peaceful future with its neighbors.
He also touched on the situation in Syria, expressing hope that the new Syrian leadership would succeed in stabilizing the country.
On the topic of the Abraham Accords, Trump noted: Saudi Arabia will join the agreement when the time is right.
We continue to seek a deal with Iran, but that offer won’t last forever.
