Shoukry meets US special envoy on Qatar a day after Sisi and Trump talk Syria, Iran, and Russia

Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry met with a US delegation headed by Special Envoy Anthony Zinni yesterday to discuss updates on the Qatar boycott, a ministry statement said. This came one day after US President Donald Trump called President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to discuss “the American-Egyptian partnership on a range of security and economic issues” and “Russia and Iran’s irresponsible support of the Assad regime’s brutal attacks against innocent civilians,” according to a US Embassy readout.
