Pourquoi c'est important
Donald Trump made a statement regarding a memorandum of understanding with Lebanon, threatening bombing if the agreement is not permanent. The terms of the agreement were released on Wednesday.
“When I say permanent, it should be permanent. But if it’s not permanent, they will be bombed,” he added. “I told them, if you don’t adhere to that agreement, we’re going to bomb the hell out of you.”
Trump’s much-anticipated appearance came as an economically dented world tries to assess how substantive and potentially lasting the Sunday memorandum of understanding is, with its terms only released on Wednesday.
According to the 14-point outline, the two sides agreed to “declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon”; end the dual blockades and any Iranian claim to charge tolls; and work to return “at least” US$300 billion in seized funds to Tehran.
