US President Donald Trump said that he will visit Egypt soon during talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in the Saudi capital on Sunday, reports Reuters.
“I will get to Egypt. We will absolutely be putting that on the list very soon,” said Trump, adding that Sisi had “done a tremendous job under trying circumstance.”
Trump was talking during bilateral talks with Sisi, which came hours before the US president is scheduled to address an Arab Islamic American summit. The US leader declared that that “safety seems to be very strong” in Egypt.
Sisi described Trump as “a unique personality that is capable of doing the impossible.”
Trump thanked Sisi for his help with the release of Egyptian-American charity worker Aya Hijazi last month. Trump and his aides had engaged in behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts to gain her freedom after attempts by the previous Obama administration failed.
Sisi went to Washington last month for talks with Trump intended to improve relations that had been strained under President Barack Obama.
