U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed working together with other countries to send immediate aid to Lebanon during a Friday phone call, as well as extending the United Nations arms embargo on Iran, White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement.

Deere said the two leaders "expressed their deep sadness over the loss of life and devastation in Beirut," the Lebanese capital where an explosion killed more than 100 people and injured thousands on Tuesday.
