U.S. Senators to Meet With Egypt Over Accused NGO Workers
A delegation of three U.S. senators, including Arizona Sen. John McCain, will be in Egypt on Monday to meet with the country’s military leaders to discuss the case of 19 American workers who face charges as part of an Egyptian crackdown on nongovernmental organizations.
“I think this is a very difficult situation,” McCain told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “I am not a negotiator, but I think it’s important that I and the other senators in the delegation explain to the Egyptian leadership … that this is a serious situation, has serious implications for our relationship,”
