In White House Meeting w/ Egyptian President Al-Sisi Trump Repairs Previous Administration Damage to Relations. "Quantum Leap" Forward

Obama preferred radical Muslim Brotherhood that sought to turn Egypt into another Iran!

President Donald Trump welcomes visiting Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to the White House in Washington, Tuesday, April 9, 2019.

The Obama policy of promoting the Muslim Brotherhood as leaders in Egypt could have ended very badly for Egypt, the Middle East and the United States. Obama bent over backward to drive Egypt's long time President Hosni Mubarak from power and in it's place welcomed the radical Muslim Brotherhood. But the people of Egypt knew better and soon drove the Brotherhood out.  Obama never forgave them, nor President Al-Sisi who took over.

Relations between Egypt and the U.S. hit the ultimate low point after that with Obama refusing to invite Al-Sisi to the White House. A very public slap in the face which Egyptians did not forget.

President Trump has now fully repaired the damage that was done to the relationship with a key Middle East ally. Tuesday's White House visit is just icing on the cake. This visit marks the second visit by Al-Sisi to the White House and the sixth between the two leaders.

You couldn't find a better endorsement of Trump's policy of engagement with Egypt than President Al-Sisi's own words at Tuesday's meeting:

PRESIDENT AL SISI: (As interpreted.) Thank you, Mr. President. Allow me to express my thanks for your kind invitation and for providing me this opportunity to meet and talk about making a quantum leap in the strategic relationship between Egypt and the United States.

Let me emphasize, Mr. President, that the relations have not been better over the years of our bilateral relationship, and that is why I’m extending, Mr. President, to you our thanks, appreciation, and greetings for (inaudible).

All the credit goes to you, Mr. President. Thank you very much for your support on all fronts. This is what we’re seeking to promote our bilateral relations in various fields: political, economic, military, cultural, and others.

Aren't you glad there's an adult in the White House?
