EVIAN, FRANCE, June 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday told reporters at the G7 meeting in France that the United States, in a parallel effort to the U.S.-Iran deal, will discuss Iran's ballistic missiles and terrorist proxies with Gulf nations.

At a press conference, Trump said that Syria's leader would like to target Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy group, with "precision" inside Lebanon.

The president also said that Lebanon's leader is expected to visit Washington in the coming weeks.
