During the phone call, Trump said that he is looking forward to meet Al-Sisi during the conference and exchange views on the summit. Trump expressed his intention to visit Egypt at the earliest opportunity to discuss ways of fighting terrorism in the Middle East. Al-Sisi welcomed Trump’s desire to visit Egypt, as he has previously invited him during previous meetings and calls. Meanwhile, Al-Sisi asserted Egypt’s commitment to continue to strengthen relations between Egypt and the US and confirmed that he looks forward to meeting with Trump during the summit. Al-Sisi met Trump a month ago on his official visit to Washington, in which the US president asserted that he is a great friend and ally to Al-Sisi.
