Aoun sends congratulatory message to Trump on America's 250th anniversary
On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun sent a congratulatory message to U.S. President Donald Trump, wishing him and the American people success, prosperity, and further progress and achievement.
In his message, Aoun stated: "There is no doubt that the history of relations between Lebanon and the United States is old and deeply rooted, as old as the human and social principles and values that united their vision. Today, they are returning strongly thanks to your determination and persistent efforts to restore stability and security to the Middle East in general, and to Lebanon in particular."

He added: "And while we appreciate your efforts in this regard, we invite you to continue standing by Lebanon's rightful and just causes, as well as its institutions, army, and people, so that we may close the chapter of wars, tragedies, and pain and open a new chapter of hope, peace, and stability."
