Rubio seeks Trump-Aoun call after Lebanon talks

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio held a follow-up call with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun after their meeting earlier in the week. Following that conversation, Rubio reportedly sought and obtained approval from President Donald Trump for a direct phone call between Trump and Aoun. This diplomatic outreach comes amid ongoing U.S. efforts to broker and finalize a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. President Trump has previously spoken with Aoun, expressing a desire for a swift ceasefire agreement.
