Egypt`s el-Sissi to meet Trump in Washington early April

Egypt`s leading state-owned newspaper says President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and U.
S.
President Donald Trump will meet in Washington next month.
Trump, at the time the Republican presidential nominee, said there was "good chemistry" and el-Sissi said Trump would "without a doubt" make a strong leader.
El-Sissi and Trump have already shown a bond when they met in September on the sidelines of the U.
N.
General Assembly.
Al-Ahram says in a front-page report Sunday the two leaders will meet during the first week of April, in what will be el-Sissi`s first visit to Washington since taking office in 2014.
Cairo and Washington are expected to forge closer ties under Trump following years of tension over the Obama administration`s emphasis on human rights and Cairo`s perception that it supported the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
