President Donald Trump will seek to rebuild the US relationship with Egypt at a Monday meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi focused on security issues and military aid. Egypt has long been one of Washington's closest allies in the Middle East, receiving 1.3 billion dollars in US military aid annually. <br/><br/>The bilateral relationship was strained when former President Barack Obama criticized al-Sisi for cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood. Trump's relationship with al-Sisi got off to a good start when they met last September in New York while Trump was running for president, the White House said.
