Trump to allow direct US flights to Lebanon after 41-year halt

Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that American carriers will resume direct flights to Lebanon, ending a suspension that lasted over 40 years. The route was originally halted in 1985 by the Ronald Reagan administration following the hijacking of TWA flight 847. This decision followed a White House meeting with the Lebanese president, where Trump vowed significant help. He expressed hope that other countries would follow suit to allow visitors to enjoy the beautiful country.
