US halts Egypt military aid over rights after huge arms sale

(AP Photo/Amr Nabil) (Amr Nabil)WASHINGTON — (AP) — The Biden administration said Friday it is cancelling $130 million in military aid to Egypt over human rights concerns. The announcement comes just days after the administration approved a massive $2.5 billion arms sale to the country. The State Department said Friday that Egypt had not met the conditions to receive the $130 million in foreign military financing that has been on hold since September. Therefore, after January 30, the secretary intends to reprogram the $130 million to other national security priorities.”Asked about the apparent inconsistency, U.S. officials have said the military aid and the arms sale are unrelated. Congressional Democrats who had urged Blinken not to approve the $130 million were pleased with Friday's decision, but did not address the arms sale that dwarfs the amount of the withheld assistance.
