United States Ambassador to Lebanon David Hale left for Riyadh for meetings with former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Saudi official to discuss international support for Lebanon, a statement by the U.S. embassy said on Saturday.
A senior political source had told The Daily Star Friday that the U.S. was urging rival Lebanese parties to elect a new president before the constitutional deadline of May 25 in order to avoid a vacuum in the presidency.
Before he left for Riyadh, Hale held talks on Friday with Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Tammam Salam.
