The war expanded to an Israeli invasion and an intensified aerial bombardment of Lebanon in October. Israel said that it targeted sites associated with Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite militia.

The meeting comes as Trump hasfor not reducing the Fed’s key interest rate, calling him “Too Late Powell.” The president initiated the meeting, the Fed said.
