Lebanese-Americans who backed Trump thank him for ceasefire

Lebanese-Americans in Dearborn, Michigan - America's Arab capital - have sent a letter to US President-elect Donald Trump thanking him for ushering in the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire. 

The letter, dated Tuesday but made public on Wednesday, expresses gratitude for Trump for "applying the necessary political influence" to secure the truce.

It's unclear what deliberate role Trump played, if at all. 

A senior Biden administration official told reporters on Tuesday that the Trump team was only briefed on the deal before it was announced.
