Reuters quotes Resident Senior Fellow Amy Hawthorne on the extent to which the United States is willing to support Egypt:
“Egypt is a very hard country to support right now, even in Washington among those who are strong defenders of the relationship,” said Amy Hawthorne, a former State Department official now with the Atlantic Council, a Washington think tank.
“This recent aid decision is about getting parts of our relationship back on track – but it’s far from a warm embrace.”
