Kushner meets with Sisi after US halts aidEgyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met with President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, on Wednesday as part of Kushner’s regional tour to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace. Kushner’s visit came the same day that the United States denied Egypt $95.7 million in economic and security aid and delayed a further $195 million in military assistance over concerns with Cairo's human rights record.
