Trump Says Israel Should Defend Itself, But Use Restraint
At the G7 summit, U.S. President Donald Trump was asked about Iran and said that the "understanding memorandum is strong." He also addressed Lebanon, saying, "I want Israel to be able to defend itself, but that it should use discretion."
Trump did not provide further details on either issue in the brief remarks, which came during the summit as questions focused on regional tensions. His comments suggested continued U.S. support for Israel’s right to self-defense, alongside a call for restraint.
The remarks were made against the backdrop of the wider Middle East situation, but Trump offered no new policy announcement or timeline.
