Clinton, Trump Jockey Over Who Would Best Fight Terrorists

“Trump pushed back, arguing the United States was less safe as a result of Obama and Clinton’s policies”, the report said.

Egypt’s Coptic Christian church is facing criticism over its role in organizing rallies in support of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi during his visit to the U.N. General Assembly.

“Permit me to deviate from the written statement to address an appeal to the Israeli leadership and Israeli people”, Sisi told the UN General Assembly.

Two senior Christian clerics traveled there ahead of the president and met with Egyptian Christian expatriates to urge them to take part in rallies outside el-Sissi’s residence and the United Nations headquarters.

Donald Trump meets with Egyptian President Abdul Fatah Sisi on September 19.

U.S. Republican candidate Donald Trump met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Monday to discuss future partnership to defeat terrorism and other foreign affairs.

Exactly what Trump said during his first meeting with a leader of a Muslim nation is not publicly known.

A small group of foreign policy experts, including Robert Kagan of the Brookings Institution and Elliott Abrams of the Council on Foreign Relations, urged both Clinton and Trump against meeting with Sisi, according to Politico. The meeting also included Mr. Trump’s senior advisors, Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Lieutenant General Michael Flynn (Ret.).

“It sounds like you think Donald Trump is saying what he needs to say to be elected, but that he might not follow through with the plan”, said CNN’s “OutFront” host.

The broadcast had been timed to link in with the president’s current visit to the United Nations General Assembly in NY.

Egyptian media are free to comment on such topics and they operate freely, he said, stressing that there is no dictator in Egypt.

During an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS, Sisi asserted that the Egyptian people wanted a change on January 25, 2011, while on June 30, 2013, they wanted to correct the path of the revolution.

There is significant concern among USA allies the region about the prospect of a Trump presidency – not least because the GOP nominee has warned that both nations must pay more to keep U.S. forces in their countries and raised the possibility that Pyongyang’s growing threat could force both states to develop their own nuclear weapons, a step neither nation wants to take.
