Trump Meeting with Egyptian Leader General el-Sisi at White House

HeadlineApr 03, 2017

President Trump is to meet with Egyptian President General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi at the White House today, even as Sisi faces widespread criticism for human rights abuses in Egypt. Human rights organizations say Sisi and his security forces have arrested tens of thousands of Egyptians and have committed torture, forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. The Trump administration has indicated it will not bring up the human rights abuses during today’s meeting. We’ll go to Cairo for more on Egypt with Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous later in the broadcast.
