Bad News From Washington

President Sisi of Egypt is on a state visit to the US.

President Trump said he has done a great job and has his full backing. Indeed, they had struck it off from the very first minute of meeting in New York during his own election campaign.

Here's another view from the Human Rights Watch, Washington director, Sarah Margon:

"Inviting Sisi for an official visit to Washington as tens of thousands of Egyptians rot in jail and when torture is again the order of the day is a strange way to build a stable strategic relationship."
