Lebanese president to meet Trump as 'pilot zones' experiment begins

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is set to meet US President Donald Trump as part of a 'pilot zones' military coordination experiment in Lebanon. The initiative, under a trilateral framework involving the US, Israel, and Lebanon, aims to transition security responsibilities from Israeli forces to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in specified villages. The US has pledged $30 million to support the LAF, though challenges remain regarding its readiness to disarm Hezbollah.
