Trump wants US airlines to add direct flights to Lebanon

President Trump has lifted a ban on direct flights to Lebanon, allowing US airlines to resume selling tickets for such trips. This change comes after he met with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, marking a significant shift from the restrictions put in place following the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847 by Hezbollah terrorists. This decision could boost travel, trade, and cultural exchanges between the US and Lebanon, potentially enhancing diplomatic and economic ties in the region. It's a notable move given the historical context and ongoing regional dynamics.
