Trump authorizes resumption of direct US flights to Lebanon

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would allow the resumption of direct flights by US airlines to Lebanon, which have been suspended for decades.

"After meeting with the President of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun, who has done a remarkable job working to transform his Country, I am hereby directing my Administration to allow all US airline carriers to fly directly to Lebanon so that Americans can easily visit this beautiful land," Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
