BEIRUT: U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s visit to Lebanon will likely take place next week, contrary to reports that said his visit would be this week, a Lebanese political source said Tuesday.
It had been reported earlier this week that Pompeo would be in Beirut either March 14 or March 15 as part of a regional tour that would also take him to Israel and Kuwait.
The source speculated that Beirut would be the last stop on Pompeo's tour.
Although the source could not confirm the exact dates of the U.S. official’s visit, Al-Liwaa newspaper reported that it will take place March 22-23.
