During the speech of the US President Donald Trump on his 100th day in office, he mentioned the release of the Egyptian-American activist Aya Hegazy from Egyptian prisons as one of his achievements. Her release was sought by Trump when he met Egypt's president earlier in April. Only five days later, Trump welcomed Hegazy back to the United States and they sat in a meeting in the Oval Office that also included Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump and his aides. “They won’t include this in my 100 days but I’m very proud that I’ve done it and she’s a happy young woman.. I said: 'How tough, Aya, was in that prison?'
