Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Michael Needham reaffirmed Washington’s support for Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, the Lebanese government, and Lebanon’s state institutions during a phone call.

The officials also stressed the United States' continued commitment to Lebanon’s sovereignty and stability.
