The arrival of Republican Donald Trump back to the White House warmed to Egyptian-American relations, but the reconstruction seems to await the expected meeting between the US President and his Egyptian counterpart, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who is visiting the United States.
Trump, who defeated Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in the presidential election, was clear in setting his priorities in the war on terror. The decisive answer to the militant groups was the headline in the president's remarks.
Trump, who has repeatedly stressed that his new administration will develop a firmer plan to eradicate terrorism, criticized at the same time the indulgence of his predecessor, Barack Obama, in its war against militant groups, chiefly Al Qaeda and other organizations.
Although Democrat Obama led an international alliance against a preacher, Trump's strategy and administration were ineffective, especially as they were lenient with groups classified by several Arab terrorist states but operating freely in the United States.
We mean the Muslim Brotherhood, the cross-border group, which Arab capitals, including Cairo, consider to be terrorist and have direct or indirect links with Dahesh and other organizations. The Obama administration has been pressing Congress not to include it on the terrorism list.
Obama's "protection" of the Brotherhood was not limited to this issue, but it froze military support for Egypt for two years following the isolation of President Mohamed Morsi in 2013, which allowed the group to escalate its terrorist operations on Egyptian territory.
The Brotherhood's links with terrorism in Egypt have escalated. The violence in the Sinai and other Egyptian areas intensified after Morsi was deposed following mass popular protests in June 2013, recalling the "popular uprising" against Hosni Mubarak in January 2011.
The freezing of military aid raised doubts about Obama's seriousness in fighting terrorism. He made the move at a time when the Egyptian army and police forces were struggling to impose security and counter terrorist operations in the country.
In the period of the freeze of aid from 2013 to 2015, the militant groups, led by the group "Ansar al-Maqdis", which supported the Dahesh, has established itself in the province of North Sinai.
However, the facts confirm that the two groups are linked to a "secret rope." The terrorist operations of the "supporters of Jerusalem" have always been accompanied by a media campaign against the Brotherhood, which is attacking the New Testament's dealings with the Sisi administration with the security file.
In addition, the group did not play this role only, but engaged in the launching of terrorist operations, through movements that saw the light after the isolation of Morsi, similar to the movement "resolve" and "the brigade of revolution," which was proved through confessions of leaders succeeded by security forces in their detention, Link between the two movements in the Brotherhood.
This justifies the Egyptian government's view that the Brotherhood's claims that it is a peaceful group are false, and that its present "terrorist" and its armed-armed past confirm the opposite.
On this particular point, Sissi disagreed with Obama, but he now seems to be in complete agreement with Trump, who was first introduced by a group of US lawmakers in January and, for the fifth time, a bill to include the Brotherhood on the list of terrorist organizations.
While the project itself fell under Obama, the decision-making circles in Cairo and Washington count on its success after Trump's arrival, which could hinder the Brotherhood and limit its effectiveness, especially as it would freeze its sources of funding.
This issue will inevitably be on the agenda of Trump and Sisi on Monday at the White House, especially as sources in the US administration confirmed that the US president interested in hearing the views of his Egyptian counterpart on the classification of the "Brotherhood" terrorist group.
Sissi, who met in New York last September when he was still a candidate for the Republican Party, brought him to the White House to fight terrorism in Egypt and the region and to besiege the Muslim Brotherhood abroad.
Tramp, who is keen on the White House sources to confirm that he supports Sisi's strategy in dealing with terrorism, carries the same concerns, which confirms that the "Egyptian-American summit" will produce effective results in this regard.
There is no doubt that Trump will work hard in the next phase to lift the restrictions still imposed by Congress on US aid to Egypt since the Obama administration, and pass the draft classification of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group.
