Sources at the U.S. embassy in Beirut told Naharnet that the continued position of the United States is that the "shape and composition" of the Lebanese government is strictly a Lebanese issue.
"We hope that the current political impasse will be resolved quickly and that Lebanon will form a government in a manner that respects its Constitutional process," the source said.
The source called on "all friends of Lebanon to support the government formation process."
The Hizbullah-led Opposition had accused U.S. Ambassador Michele Sison of making a move to block government formation.
Free Patriotic Movement member Salim Salhab on Monday accused the United States without naming it, saying "some external powers do not want a government at the moment, and this was clear in the actions taken by the U.S. Ambassador."
"If the Lebanese agree on a government, we can overcome the American behavior that does not want a government at the time being," Salhab added.
