In response to a question about whether the United States supports Israel launching an invasion of Lebanon, Trump said he had spoken with Israeli leaders, describing Hezbollah as a long-standing problem. He also recounted a story about a wealthy Lebanese family who were used to living under bombardment, saying: “It’s really a different part of Lebanon; the part where Hezbollah is present. I think they’ve gotten used to it… People live in Ukraine, people live in Lebanon. Hezbollah is a big problem, and they are being dealt with quickly.”
