Report: Barrack to Visit Beirut in 3 Weeks, Says Trump Supports Stability

During a recent diplomatic visit to Beirut, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack held a series of high-level meetings with Lebanese political figures to gather insights and convey preliminary messages on Washington’s regional priorities. According to a Lebanese government official, Barrack assured President Joseph Aoun, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam that their concerns would be addressed when he returns to Lebanon after a three-week interval.

In these talks, Barrack did not deliver any formal warnings about Hezbollah’s weapons, despite earlier speculation suggesting otherwise. However, he did raise questions about the ongoing delays in resolving issues linked to the armed group’s presence and activities, indicating continued U.S. interest in the matter.

Washington’s Interest in Multilateral Regional Stability

According to the same source, Barrack emphasized that U.S. President Donald Trump is focused on achieving broader regional stability and seeks to understand Lebanon’s position and role in that effort. He conveyed that the administration is actively working to ensure security and balance not just in Lebanon, but across a wider regional landscape including Israel, Syria, and Turkey.

Barrack’s meetings were described as part of a larger effort to consult local leadership in the Middle East and align diplomatic strategies with on-the-ground perspectives. His commitment to return with responses to Lebanese officials’ questions signals a continuing dialogue aimed at supporting de-escalation and policy coordination in a highly complex geopolitical environment.
