Donald Trump on the situation in Lebanon: "I am a problem solver"

During an interview held today, June 23, 2026, former U.S. President and presidential candidate Donald Trump addressed the statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to which IDF forces will not withdraw from Lebanon. According to the Iranian Telegram channel 'Akharinkhabar', which is identified with critical positions regarding the policies of Israel and the West, Trump reacted with skepticism when confronted with Netanyahu's words.

When asked by the reporter how he would act regarding Netanyahu's public declaration about keeping forces in Lebanon, Trump replied: "I will not tell you what I will do! This problem will be solved, I am a problem solver." Trump's words were also broadcast on the 'Saberin News' channel, a media outlet identified with the 'Axis of Resistance' and pro-Iranian organizations, which covered the exchange as part of an effort to highlight the political complexity in the arena.

The reports from both channels emphasize Trump's direct style and his refusal to commit to specific moves regarding sovereignty and Israeli military activity in Lebanon, while positioning himself as the decisive figure who will bring about a resolution to the crisis.
