Egypt’s “wish list” from the incoming US administration includes “a Sisi visit to Washington, a Trump visit to Cairo, increased military assistance, delivery of unspent economic assistance in cash, provision of several [USD bns] in loan guarantees, designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, and extradition of Egyptians wanted by the government from the United States,” Michelle Dunne writes for Carnegie Endowment’s Diwan blog. Dunne says portions of the list “will be free to dispense without asking the permission of any other parts of government,” but others would require more cooperation. She believes that “the fact that Trump apparently admires Sisi should not be taken to mean that Egypt can now do whatever it likes with no pushback from Washington.”
