BEIRUT: The U.S. Treasury Department has inquired about Syrian deposits in Lebanese banks, but has not made a formal request for action, reported As-Safir newspaper Monday.

The inquiry came during the current visit by Finance Minister Mohammad Safadi and Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh to the U.S.

This follows an August 10 announcement by the U.S. to place sanctions on the Syrian-Lebanese Commercial Bank, the Beirut-based subsidiary of Commercial Bank of Syria, freezing their U.S. assets and barring them from doing business in the United States.

The Treasury said the bank had been targeted for helping to fund North Korea's weapons program, which reportedly has worked closely with Syria over the years.

As-Safir reported that while in Washington Safadi endeavored to tell the U.S. that the Lebanese government "is not and will not be a Hezbollah government."

Reports surfaced in August that U.S. sanctions on Syria's telecom sector could affect Lebanese Prime Miniser Najib Mikati for his role in introducing cellular technology to the country.

According to As-Safir's correspondent in Washington, Safadi met with Assistant Secretary for International Financial Affairs Charles Collins. Salameh later joined the meeting, and also held separate talks on the issues of terrorism and intelligence.

Safadi also met with International Monetary Fund Director Christine Lagarde, World Bank President Robert Zoellick and other officials to discuss a range of topics, including the financing of Lebanon's electricity plan.

The State Department does not intend to cancel Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi's entry visa to the U.S. over his controversial statements on Hizbullah's weapons and Syria, As Safir daily reported Monday.

The report came after Ad-Diyar newspaper said Sunday that the Department might cancel the visa to snub al-Rahi for linking the fate of Hizbullah's arms to the liberation of the remaining occupied Lebanese territories and for saying that Syrian President Bashar Assad should be given the chance to introduce reform.

Ad-Diyar also said that al-Rahi will not meet with top U.S. officials in Washington after he told U.S. Ambassador Maura Connelly that he held onto his remarks.

Connelly reportedly told the patriarch that he needed to provide explanations on his statements before setting dates with U.S President Barack Obama and other officials. Al-Rahi snapped back by cancelling his visit to Washington, Ad-Diyar said.

As Safir's Washington correspondent confirmed that a meeting hasn't been set with Obama, adding that Bkirki cancelled the Washington stop as part of the patriarch's pastoral visit after the U.S. administration set meetings between lower-ranking officials and al-Rahi.

The daily confirmed that the U.S. has expressed reservations on his stances.
