Egypt gets the second most U.S. foreign aid. It varies, but U.S. foreign assistance to Egypt has averaged about $2 billion, which includes fighter jets, tanks, armored personnel carriers, attack helicopters, antiaircraft missiles, and surveillance aircraft.

The Department of State insists U.S. assistance: has played a central role in Egypt's economic and military development; can bolster Egypt's nascent democratic system and achieve inclusive economic growth; and supports Egyptian efforts to protect civil liberties and human rights.

We are arming and paying Egypt to deny protection of civil liberties and human rights.
