The two officials also discussed the Syrian refugees crisis. Bassil emphasized the need to help refugees' return to their homeland to alleviate the burdens off Lebanon.
Pompeo reiterated Bassil's remarks, saying that the U.S. supports a fast return of Syrian refugees to their country.
They also negotiated the need to demarcate Lebanon's maritime borders with Israel.
Lebanon has an unresolved maritime border with Israel that involves a triangular sea area of about 860 square km extending along the edge of three of its 10 offshore energy blocks.
The U.S. top diplomat arrived in Lebanon on Friday and headed directly to meet Interior Minister Raya Haffar El Hassan as the two discussed internal security challenges facing Lebanon.
Pompeo also met with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Saad Hariri before his meeting with President Michel Aoun at the Baabda presidential palace.
