Rubio releases $320 million in military aid to Egypt
Original: Rubio waives human rights restrictions to release $320 million in military aid to Egypt
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has waived human rights restrictions to release $320 million in US military aid to Egypt. The waiver overrides conditions Congress tied to the funding over Cairo's rights record. Critics are likely to accuse the administration of dropping human rights conditionality on a key Middle East partner, while supporters argue the aid preserves strategic cooperation.
Why now: The State Department's decision to bypass human rights conditions on US military funding is a controversial foreign policy move drawing attention.
