Trump tells Lebanese President he can 'have anything' after gushing praise: 'He knows how to get to me'

Mr. President, it's an honor having you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. I've been looking forward to this visit for a long time. Thank you very much. You made me such a great President like yourself. Wow. That's a very nice thing. See? He knows how to get to me. Mr. President. He can have anything. Now he can have anything. Would you like to say something? No. Really, I would like to thank President Trump, really, and his team, for the historic visit and for the historic achievement that we did together by signing the framework with the ultimate objective of ending the state of hostility between Lebanon and Israel forever. I think, Mr. President, this will be your legacy. Together, we'll be able to achieve this objective. It's about time for Lebanon and for the whole region to be stable and secure. And I know your vision is peace. Your vision is stability. And they say, my vision won't start with your vision. And together, I think we will be able to achieve and to score success in that regard. I agree with that. I do agree with that. You have a tremendous spirit on your side. You have people that love that country. And they're going to make it work. We're going to make it work. Thank you very much. Mr. President. Lebanon still enforces a 1955 law criminalizing contact with Israel for over 70 years. You previously stated you would push Lebanon on this issue. And people — there are some people still going to prison, last month. So did you raise it with — you will raise it with President Trump today? Well, the Abraham Accords have been, I think, a tremendous success. I think you're going to see a lot of countries joining pretty soon. As you know, we have our original group, and they are — it's so successful for them. Economically successful. It's been that. Nobody left, even during this time of conflict. So, no, I think Lebanon has a very important place.
