Clinton, Trump to meet Egyptian president at U.N. read more at here www.spinonews.com/index.php/item/900-clinton-trump-to-meet-egyptian-president-at-u-n

U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign said that Trump will meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi during the United Nations General Assembly, just as Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, is also scheduled to do

Egypt remains in flux after the country's chaotic revolution in 2011 that deposed President Hosni Mubarak, a movement that the Obama administration supported.

Then-Secretary Clinton has since written that she advised a more conservative approach than the White House ultimately took toward Mubarak's exit.

Egypt's Islamist President, Mohamad Morsi, was eventually supplanted by Sisi, the nation's former defense minister and a secularist, in 2013.

Some Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have since accused the Obama administration of abandoning its support of Egypt's government in its battle against Islamic militants

Trump has called for aggressive measures in combating the threat of Islamic State forces in Iraq and Syria and has proposed blocking immigrants from countries that he says pose a threat to the United States. Earlier in his campaign, he suggested banning all Muslims from entering the country.

Clinton's meeting with Ukraine President Poroshenko also is likely to be provocative given the reportedly close ties between Trump's campaign and the administration of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula, considered part of Ukraine, in 2014.
