Syrian foreign minister visits Beirut after Trump comments about taking on Hezbollah

BEIRUT: Syria’s foreign minister traveled to Beirut ‌on Thursday to meet Lebanese government leaders, in his first visit there since US President Donald Trump raised the possibility of Syrian forces combating Iran-backed Hezbollah ​in Lebanon. Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, however, has previously denied what he called rumors about any Syrian presence entering Lebanon. The Syrian minister, Asaad Al-Shibani, met Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on his first stop, and then headed for a meeting with the parliament speaker, Nabih Berri, an ally of Hezbollah.
