Macron to Lebanon's Leaders: Make Changes in 3 Months or Face Sanctions | Voice of America - English

Macron to Lebanon's Leaders: Make Changes in 3 Months or Face Sanctions | Voice of America - English: French President Emmanuel Macron has given Lebanese politicians three months to take concrete steps to rebuild the country, or face sanctions and lose out on crucial aid.

Macron has been central to international efforts to help Lebanon recover from a deep-rooted economic and political crisis arising from decades of mismanagement and corruption, a persistent pandemic, and a deadly explosion in capital city Beirut last month.
 
"It’s a risky bet I’m making, I am aware of it,” Macron told Politico in an interview Monday night.
