3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 21

Trump said Tuesday he is directing his administration to let all U.S. carriers fly directly to Lebanon, announcing the move after a White House meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
The president framed the step as a way to make travel easier for Americans and as part of broader U.S. support for Lebanon, while signaling further action tied to Hezbollah-related concerns.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy quickly endorsed the order on social media, but the White House did not provide a timeline for when the flight policy would take effect.
The announcement extends months of U.S.-backed diplomacy involving Lebanon and Israel, aimed at curbing Hezbollah's influence and improving regional stability.
