Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said he met U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Monday to discuss activating the trilateral framework involving Lebanon and Israel. Salam said he asked for a clear timetable and credible verification for phased, reciprocal steps toward full Israeli withdrawal and exclusive Lebanese state control of weapons. According to Salam's account, Rubio reaffirmed U.S. support for implementing the framework and assisting the Lebanese army. Salam's statement announced no agreed timetable or new accord, and did not describe an Israeli response to the proposals.
