The news comes as speculation mounts that Trump is playing \u2018peacemaker\u2019 between Cairo and Riyadh, as we note above, and will also take place as regional governments that receive about 62% of US foreign aid (30% is earmarked to MENA and 32% to sub-Saharan Africa) wonder what looming US budget cuts mean to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Could Trump\u2019s budget cuts impact aid to Egypt?<\/strong> US President Donald Trump\u2019s proposed fiscal budget for 2018 has included cuts to foreign aid and other diplomatic initiatives, which could possibly impact Egypt. Details on the cuts remain scant, but reports from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/AP4d5a6eca19394956bc0610690b51e6b3\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> suggest that USAID, which funds a substantial amount of humanitarian aid to Egypt from the US, will see its budget allocation reduced. Funding for other humanitarian and climate change focused NGOs is also on the chopping block. The Trump administration has stated that it will shield the USD 3.1 bn in annual aid Israel receives from the US, but it is still evaluating what it will do with aid to Egypt and Jordan, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-trump-budget-foreignaid-idUSKBN16N2Q9\">Reuters<\/a> reports. The US is committed to assistance to both Egypt and Israel under the Camp David peace accords, though the threat of suspension of that aid to Egypt had popped up a few times under the Obama administration. Aid from the US to countries had been anchored on fighting terrorism, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2017-03-16\/which-countries-could-suffer-as-trump-puts-aid-on-chopping-block\">Bloomberg<\/a>, something which Trump has praised President Abdel Fattah El Sisi for. US support for the UN and its missions will also see a decline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One person who could play a role in shaping where aid is cut is <\/strong><strong>Egypt-born Dina <\/strong><strong>Habib Powell<\/strong>, Trump\u2019s deputy national security adviser for strategy, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2017\/03\/dina-powell-national-security-236110\">Politico reports<\/a>. Powell is US President Donald Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/01\/15\/dina-powell-appointed-trump-economic-advisor\/\">senior counselor for economic initiatives<\/a>. In her new role, \u201cPowell is expected to work closely with national security adviser H.R. McMaster and focus on long-term issues. She is also expected to help lead an interagency policy process working with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, CIA Director Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary James Mattis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of particular local interest on the budget cut front is a hint in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/03\/17\/health\/global-health-fogarty-international-center-viruses.html\">the New York Times<\/a> <strong>a US Navy <\/strong><strong>laboratory in Egypt could be on the chopping budgetary block<\/strong>.

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi issued a decree establishing an Egyptian permanent mission to NATO, <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/64\/261052\/Egypt\/Politics-\/Egypt-establishes-diplomatic-mission-to-NATO-.aspx\">Ahram Online<\/a> reports.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/russia-pushes-to-boost-arms-exports-1489743004\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> had a nice piece on that subject over the weekend, noting that Russia has made particular inroads with traditional US allies including Egypt and the UAE.<\/p>\n<p>Still not enough coverage of US foreign policy for you?
