Lebanon's Aoun to meet Trump

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is meeting U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.

Aoun wants Trump's help to get Israeli troops to leave southern Lebanon and to disarm the militant group Hezbollah.

Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has been fighting Israel and doesn't want to give up its weapons.

Aoun believes only Trump can pressure Israel to withdraw.

Hezbollah has been criticized by Aoun for starting a war that has killed many people.

Aoun is a former army commander and became president last year.

He wants to make Lebanon stronger and more stable.
