sam: well, thank you, nina, for the introduction. i think the goal has already been achieved. the most important thing for president sisi was receiving this invitation to washington and being welcomed in the white house. for the past three years, since the military moved -- and since he came to power, he has seemed he world has not seem him as legitimate. these comments about the military coup, comments about the oppression in the country, and the obama administration's lack of interest in welcoming him to washington has made him very keen on getting that target, being welcomed in washington, being seen as an equal partner, as an ally of in nited states so that and of itself has been the goal of the egyptian side of this visit. however, the president comes with a lot of asks. the obama administration had put certain restrictions on military aid to egypt, concerning cash flow financing, limits on egypt's ability that it had for many years. only second to israel in being able to buy weapons in advance, paying for them later. certain limits on the kind of weapons that egypt would be able to buy. the obama administration created four specific restrictions on the kind of military equipment that woul
