Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham gave an exclusive interview to LBCI in which he discussed the atmosphere surrounding contacts related to Lebanon, pointing to U.S. President Donald Trump’s positions on the Lebanese and regional file and the possibility of progress in the negotiating track.
Key remarks:
I spoke with President Trump yesterday about Lebanon, and I believe he is very enthusiastic about reaching agreements with Lebanon, but he stressed the need to get rid of Hezbollah.
Trump believes that the weaker Iran becomes, the greater the chances of reaching a solution in Lebanon. He also expressed his admiration for your country and for the Lebanese diaspora, noting that Lebanese people have achieved great successes across the United States.
Responding to a question about whether the talks held yesterday between the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors could play a role in paving the way for a possible ceasefire, Graham told LBCI: Yes, 100%.
