The United States has denied Egypt nearly $100 million in military funding and other aid, citing the deteriorating human rights conditions under Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The U.S. has 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. The cuts to military funding come as President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner is slated to visit Egypt as part of Kushner’s upcoming Middle East trip.
