Trump says US airlines can now fly to Lebanon for first time since 1985

The US president directs the government to allow domestic airlines to resume services after meeting Lebanon's president Joseph Aoun. All US flights were suspended in 1985 after the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 from Athens, Greece, en route to Rome, Italy. The flight was forced to land in Beirut. During the 17-day ordeal, a US Navy diver was killed.
