The U.S. really should not be providing weapons to countries that abuse their citizens as badly as Egypt does, writes cwtremo. 'Maybe Biden should look to [Sen. Rand] Paul for some moral guidance.'
Abdel Fattah al Sisi is Egypt’s president. He receives billions of dollars worth of weapons from the United States. He is also responsible for one of the most abusive governments on the planet. President Joe Biden committed to putting “human rights at the center of foreign policy,” but his willingness to sell weapons to Egypt contradicts that pledge. Thankfully, Sen. Rand Paul is looking to hold Biden to his word.Al Sisi stands accused of numerous crimes against the people of Egypt.
The U.S. gives Egypt $1.3 billion in military aid each year. Initially, the Biden administration withheld $130 million because of concerns over human rights abuses. Yet Biden made a metaphorical deal with the devil just two days later, approving two sales to al Sisi valued at $2.5 billion.
