US Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea met on Friday with Prime Minister Najib Mikati, where she stressed that “she had conveyed to him an official written communication from the US Treasury Department that answered some of the concerns that the Lebanese authorities had regarding regional energy agreements that the US helped facilitate and encourage between Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt.

Following the meeting, shea stated that “there will be no concerns with US sanctions legislation, and this letter that was delivered represents a forward momentum and an important milestone,” adding that “they will continue to make progress to bring safer cleaner, more reliable and more sustainable energy solutions to help address the energy crisi that the Lebanese people have been experiencing. “

On another note, Mikati discussed with United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon and Humanitarian Coordinator, Najat Rushdi the general situation in Lebanon, as well as ways to support the Lebanese people to get out of their current crises.
