NNA - The US Embassy in Beirut on Wednesday denied via twitter having discussed issues involving the Lebanese Central Bank with Speaker of the House, Nabih Berri, yesterday. 

“We were surprised by a press report indicating that the Lebanese Central Bank was a subject of discussion between US Ambassador, Dorothy Shea, and House Speaker, Nabih Berri, yesterday. In fact, discussions with the House Speaker focused on questions about the House of Parliament and an upcoming visit by a US State Department official,” a tweet on the US embassy’s twitter account said.
