Trump to host Lebanese Prime Minister at White House

US President Donald Trump will meet Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri in Washington next week for talks on issues including refugees and combatting terrorism, the White House announced Friday. Analysts also anticipate US aid will be high on the agenda of the July 25th talks at the White House, which has made clear its intent to slash its aid budget for Lebanon, on grounds that national forces there have not adequately applied US military support towards reining in Hezbollah."The two leaders will discuss issues of mutual concern, including the fight against terrorism, the economy, and refugees,"the White House said in a statement.
