[Trump Says Lebanon Not Included in US-Iran Ceasefire] US President Donald Trump said in a telephone interview with PBS on the 8th that Lebanon was not included in the two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran. When asked about Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon, Trump said, "That's a separate conflict." He said that because Hezbollah was not included in the ceasefire, "that issue will be resolved later." In a telephone interview with the New York Post that day, Trump said that face-to-face negotiations between the US and Iran "will indeed take place very soon, in the near future." The US negotiators will include presidential envoy Witkov, his son-in-law Kushner, and "maybe Vice President Vance, I can't say for sure. After all, there are security and safety issues involved."
