Trump says ‘progress made’ in Lebanon

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he believed progress was being made between Israel and Lebanon and that Lebanon deserved to have peace.

“Lebanon has been under attack for so many years and always like an underdog, and it would be really nice if it could end,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and "I actually spoke to Hezbollah about it."

He continued: "And I think progress is made. It's been going on for a long time, you know," he said.
