    Aoun‑Trump Meeting and the Demands for Hezbollah Disarmament

    Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is scheduled to travel to Washington, D.C., where he will meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, an event that comes as international pressure mounts on Hezbollah to relinquish its arsenal. The meeting follows a United States announcement to start implementing an agreement that gives the Lebanese army jurisdiction over “pilot zones” in southern Lebanon—areas where Hezbollah has been known to operate.[1]

    Implications for Regional Stability

    The U.S. decision to hand the Lebanese army control over the pilot zones is widely seen as a prerequisite that Israel has stated it will only consider if Hezbollah ceases to possess cutting‑edge weaponry. The meeting between the two presidents is expected to signal continued U.S. commitment to enforcing that condition, potentially accelerating discussions on a broader disarmament framework that could affect the security posture of the entire area.[1]
