WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Thursday after announcing a 10-day Lebanon-Israel ceasefire that leaders of the two countries could meet at the White House over the next week or two.
Trump spoke to both leaders as the ceasefire was announced. He said he was working on a longer term deal.
“It's very exciting. I think we're going to have a deal where we're going to have a meeting, first time in 44 years, and Lebanon will be meeting with Israel, and they're probably going to do it at the White House over the next week or two," Trump said.
