Fattah al-Sisi

In landmark meeting, Trump hails Sisi's 'fantastic job' in Egypt

U.S. President Donald Trump set human rights scandals aside to welcome Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to the White House on April 3, the first such visit from an Egyptian president in almost a decade.

Greeting Sisi warmly in the Oval Office, Trump heaped praise on the former general's leadership as he sought to mend ties strained by crackdowns, revolution and counter-revolution.
