Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has arrived at the White House, where he is greeted by US President Donald Trump ahead of their Oval Office meeting.
Trump largely ignores questions from shouting reporters, but he touts Aoun as “highly respected,” adding that he “feels very good about Lebanon” and that the US is making a “lot of progress” on the issue.
