U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to suspend U.S. aid to Lebanon and wants to see “achievements” first, Al-Arabiya TV quoted a U.S. State Department official as saying.

“All U.S. aid to Lebanon has been suspended for revision and ensuring that it conforms to Washington’s policy,” the official said.

“Washington will not distribute funds if the American people don’t get anything in return,” the official quoted Trump as saying.

“There will be no aid to the Lebanese Army and the rest of institutions based on promises,” the official reportedly added.
