Donald Trump's Lebanese-born adviser and son-in-law's father Massad Boulos said Thursday that he will soon travel to Beirut. "God willing, my first trip will be to Beirut as soon as possible, in the next few days or two weeks," he said in an interview with LBC.
Boulos clarified that "Trump's policy in the Middle East is to achieve a lasting peace and to achieve this, it must be just and comprehensive, with the need for an economic plan to accompany any solution, because the economic recovery of the Palestinians is crucial to the sustainability of peace." Boulos also stressed that the president-elect is "against wars and the killing of civilians in general, but when it comes to the Middle East, his policy is to achieve a lasting peace."
Addressing the nuclear issue, Boulos indicated that the American president is preparing "a new nuclear agreement with Iran that will be acceptable to the Iranians, neighboring countries and the United States."
