Lebanon President Aoun to meet US Secretary of State Rubio Joseph Aoun has arrived at the US State Department in Washington, DC for talks with Marco Rubio. “President Joseph Aoun arrived at the building of the US Department of State for a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, thereby concluding his official engagements in Washington,” Lebanon’s presidency said in a post on X. Aoun is expected to meet US President Donald Trump on Tuesday during the first visit to Washington by a Lebanese president since 2009. The trip comes amid US-backed direct talks between Lebanon and Israel, and just days after officials from the two countries concluded another round of US-mediated negotiations in Rome. According to the presidency, Aoun’s meetings in Washington are expected to focus on strengthening the ceasefire, securing Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon, and efforts to “restore security and stability” across the country.
