ATFL Reports
Lebanon is rapidly failing as a state - a combination of government mismanagement, the deep economic and financial crises, the impact of Covid-19, and the Beirut Port explosions. Only with a combination of international support and a domestic coalition dedicated to real change will Lebanon survive as a functioning state.
ATFL is working every day to support
strong relations between the US and Lebanon.
