Lebanese President Michel Aoun has visited the White House in Washington to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, with discussions centering on the group Hezbollah. The high-level talks have drawn immediate domestic criticism in Lebanon.
Following the meeting, Hezbollah characterized President Aoun's visit to the United States as a form of submission to a foreign power. The diplomatic engagement highlights ongoing tensions regarding how Lebanon's leadership navigates its relationship with Washington while managing the powerful political and militant group at home.
In a separate development unrelated to the diplomatic talks, New York Knicks players have not discussed a potential White House visit, according to player Jalen Brunson. Knicks owner James Dolan, a friend of President Trump, previously stated last month that a team visit to the White House was being planned pending final details.
