ISTANBUL (AA) – US envoy to Syria Tom Barrack said on Monday that he is “satisfied” with Lebanon’s response to his roadmap for the disarmament of the Hezbollah group.

“We had a very satisfactory meeting and appreciate Lebanon’s balanced response,” Barrack said following his meeting with President Joseph Aoun, as cited by the Lebanese official news agency NNA.

He said the US will not be dictating Lebanon’s actions regarding Hezbollah, but rather will take a supportive stance.
