Egypt’s Foreign Minister Snubs Jared Kushner in Cairo
by Breitbart Jerusalem23 Aug 2017
(AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s foreign ministry on Wednesday snubbed White House adviser Jared Kushner and U.S. officials who arrived with him in Cairo, apparently in protest over the Trump administration’s move to cut and delay aid to Egypt.
Egypt’s top diplomat, Sameh Shoukry, was to meet with Kushner and the U.S. delegation, but a modified version of the minister’s schedule showed the meeting had been called off, shortly after the Americans landed in Cairo.
The protest came after the Trump administration on Tuesday cut nearly $100 million in military and economic aid to Egypt and delayed almost $200 million more in military financing, pending human rights improvements and action to ease harsh restrictions on civic and other non-governmental groups.

That's the same kind of moronic move that Big Ears made opening the door for the MoBros to take over.
Once again we're giving a middle finger to one of our most important allies in the area.

Isn't this a job for Tillerson?
Anyone think Kushner's roots played a part?

Brietbart, the new CNN. Sure a shame what has happened to them.
