US Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Washington, DC, on Sunday to discuss implementing a US-brokered Israel-Lebanon framework agreement. Multiple outlets report that the talks focus on follow-through on an agreement signed by Israel and Lebanon on 26 June, and that Rubio reiterates US support for helping implement the trilateral framework reached in Washington last month. According to reporting, Lebanese officials say Aoun is scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, following the Sunday meeting at the State Department. State Department messaging cited by outlets characterizes Rubio’s engagement as a recognition of Lebanon’s leadership and efforts linked to the framework. One State Department spokesperson statement says Rubio commends the “courage” of the Lebanese government under Aoun’s leadership and also praises efforts described as working to disarm Hezbollah. Outlets also note the meeting is the first trip to the US capital by a Lebanese head of state since Michel Sleiman visited in 2009. Overall, the accounts align on the meeting’s purpose: discuss implementing the June framework and related steps described by US officials.
