U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is expected to visit Washington in the coming weeks, while downplaying disagreements with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Lebanon and expressing optimism about a potential agreement with Iran.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, Trump said Aoun would soon travel to the United States for talks at the White House.

"The president is going to be coming over to see us very shortly, over the next week or two," Trump said.

Commenting on developments related to Lebanon, Trump acknowledged that the issue remained under discussion but suggested it was not the central challenge facing the region.

"On the Lebanese side, that's something we'll need to work on a little," he said.

Trump's remarks came as Iran continues to call for an end to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Despite the ongoing tensions, Trump characterized the Lebanese file as relatively limited in scope compared with broader regional issues.

"It's actually a very small piece of the puzzle, but it still makes a lot of noise," he said, arguing that the primary focus remains efforts to reach an agreement with Iran.

"The real issue is the agreement with Iran," Trump said.

He added that Iran remains central to regional dynamics because "that's where the money is, that's where the power was."

The U.S. president said Washington and Tehran were "very likely" to reach an agreement and reiterated that the United States intends to take possession of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, even if it ultimately proves to be "worthless."

Trump also said his administration planned to hold parallel discussions with Gulf countries on ballistic missile issues as part of broader regional security efforts.

The president used the occasion to praise his relationship with Netanyahu, describing their partnership as strong despite recent reports of disagreements over Israel's military operations in Lebanon.

"To be totally fair to Bibi Netanyahu, who happens to be a good man, he gets a little worked up sometimes," Trump said.

"We have a tremendous partnership," he added.

Trump dismissed differences between the two leaders regarding Lebanon as minor, characterizing them as merely "a small dispute."
