U.S. President Donald Trump publicly slammed Israel's latest strike on Beirut amid ongoing peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran. During his remarks at the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, Trump was asked whether the newly announced Iran deal could survive renewed tensions in Lebanon.
Trump Defends Iran Deal Despite Tensions
The U.S. President said the agreement remains intact but described Hezbollah as a recurring problem in the region. He also expressed strong disapproval of Israel's attack on Beirut, calling it 'vicious' and 'too much,' particularly given its timing just hours before the reported signing of the Iran agreement.
Trump's Direct Message to Israeli Leaders
Trump revealed that he conveyed his concerns directly to Israeli leaders and suggested that Syria should be allowed to handle Hezbollah instead. He framed himself as a savior, claiming that without his leadership, Israel would have faced severe consequences.
The comments come as the G7 Summit focuses on global security and diplomatic efforts. Trump's remarks highlight the delicate balance between supporting allies and advancing peace deals in the volatile Middle East.
