Trump spoke about his achievements during this period, considering Hegazy’s release among them. TV presenter Lamis El-Hadidy expressed outrage over Trump’s statements and called on Egypt to provide an official response, noting that the statements are unpleasant and include inaccurate information. He added that any response by Egypt will impact relations between both countries, which have witnessed major improvements recently. Following her release, Hegazy was taken to the US on a military flight with her husband Mohamed Hassanein, meeting Trump only one day after arriving in the US. Government officials and MPs previously rejected any talk on Trump’s involvement in Hegazy’s release, stressing that she was only released after concluding her legal trial and fulfilling all conditions for her release.
