US President Donald Trump said Syria could help address the threat posed by Hezbollah in Lebanon, praising President Ahmad Al Shara's leadership while calling for more targeted military action against the Iran-backed militant group.
The remarks are likely to fuel concerns about a potential push for Syria to get involved in Lebanon again, with a possible incursion from the east to fight Hezbollah.
Mr Trump said he wanted to see a "better life" for Lebanon, adding that the US could assist in that effort or recommend Syria as a potential partner.
