US and Egypt President’s to meet

   Egyptian President, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, is to visit the White House for the first time since he led the military's overthrow of his predecessor in 2013.

   Egypt has long been a staunch US ally, but ties were strained by President Sisi's decision to launch a crackdown on his Islamist and secular opponents.
   The Obama administration froze military aid for 18 months in response.
   President Donald Trump now wants to reboot the two countries' bilateral relationship.
