U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he expected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhyahu and President Joseph Aoun to visit the White House in coming days, after the U.S. leader announced a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel.
"As of two hours from now, we have a ceasefire with Israel and Lebanon. And that'll be great. And they'll be meeting -- probably coming to the White House -- over the next four or five days," Trump told reporters.
The president added that he is "certainly" open to visiting Lebanon “at the right time," in response to a Lebanese reporter's question.
