Top of the Agenda: U.S. to Partially Cut Aid to Egypt The Obama administration decided to suspend cash and military hardware transfers to Egypt while maintaining assistance for security and counterterrorism operations (LAT) after a three-month-long review of U.S. policy.

The U.S. State Department stressed that the decision wasn't permanent and could be reversed if progress was made toward establishing an inclusive government (AP).
