The administration of United States President Donald Trump has warned Lebanese leaders ahead of a crucial government meeting tomorrow that "their time is up" to act on disarming Hezbollah. The New York Times reported this from an American source, who warned that inaction or only partial measures could lead the U.S. Congress to cut annual American funding to Lebanon, which stands at about $150 million. Washington, along with Israeli and Arab sources, is pressuring the Lebanese government to act decisively and not be deterred by Hezbollah's threats, which some in Lebanon have seen as threats of "civil war." According to U.S. administration officials, this is a "critical moment" in Lebanon's history, as the terrorist organization backed by the Iranian regime is at a moment of historic weakness.
