Report: U.S.-GCC summit to discuss Lebanon's stability, other regional issues

Lebanon's stability and the independence of its political decisions will be discussed in a U.S.-GCC summit in Jeddah along with other regional matters, a Saudi media report said Friday.

U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to meet Arab leaders from the Gulf Cooperation Council as well as leaders from Egypt, Iraq and Jordan to reactivate an annual summit between the United States and the GCC that had begun during the presidency of Barack Obama.

Biden's visit will likely focus on convincing the world's biggest crude exporter to boost its oil output.
