Massad Boulos, Senior Advisor to the President of the United States on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs, speaks with members of the media outside of the West Wing of the White House in Washington, DC, July 21, 2026. US President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to help Lebanon "a lot" as its president, Joseph Aoun, sought Washington's backing for a fragile effort to disarm Hezbollah and forge a path to peace with Israel. Meeting Aoun at the White House, Trump said Lebanon had been "a very mistreated country" that had been "hit hard" for decades. (Photo by SAUL LOEB / AFP via Getty Images)
