U.S Approves Major Security Funding for Lebanon in Tactical Move
The Trump administration has approved a $230 million security package for Lebanon to help disarm Hezbollah. This includes funds for the Lebanese Armed Forces and Internal Security Forces, reflecting a broader strategy to address regional conflicts. This move is significant for Lebanon amidst U.S. foreign policy adjustments.
In a strategic deployment of funds, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has sanctioned $230 million for Lebanon's security apparatus. This move seeks to bolster efforts against Hezbollah, which has remained a thorn in the Middle East's volatile landscape.
The package allocates $190 million for the Lebanese Armed Forces and $40 million for Internal Security Forces. This comes as a surprising gesture from an administration known for curtailing foreign assistance, prioritizing domestic interests under the America First doctrine.
This funding highlights the administration's intense focus on resolving Mideast conflicts, as Lebanon grapples with internal pressures to disarm Hezbollah. The funds are anticipated to bolster security forces, allowing a concentrated military approach elsewhere.
