Trump Considering Resuming Suspended Military Aid to Egypt

HeadlineSep 21, 2017

President Trump met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Wednesday. Ahead of the meeting, Trump said he’s considering resuming military aid to Egypt. Last month, the U.S. denied Egypt nearly $100 million in military funding and other aid, and withheld another nearly $200 million in foreign military financing, saying the money would be released when the human rights conditions improve. Sisi’s government has launched a wide-ranging crackdown against human rights activists and press freedom advocates in Egypt.
