| Clinton, Trump to both meet with Egyptian president at U.N. |
| 2016-09-19 |
| [Reuters] An adviser to U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign said on Sunday that Trump will meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Monday during the United Nations General Assembly, just as Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, is also scheduled to do. Clinton, who faces Trump in the Nov. 8 election, announced last week that she would meet both with Sisi and Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko in bilateral sessions expected to take place late on Monday. A foreign policy advisor to Trump, Walid Phares, told Reuters on Sunday that Trump would also have talks with Sisi on the same day. For Trump, a New York real estate magnate and reality-TV show host who has never held political office, it marks the second time in recent weeks he has tried to burnish his foreign-policy credentials to compete with Clinton, the former Secretary of State under President Barack Obama and a U.S. Senator from New York. |

| #7 A foreign policy advisor to Trump, Walid Phares It's been a day, what with the various jihadi excitements, so I'm finally reading this closely before doing articles for tomorrow. Mr. Trump is developing an interesting advisory team. From Wikipedia: Walid Phares (Arabic: وليد فارس IPA: [waˈliːd ˈfaːres]) is an American scholar of Lebanese Maronite Christian descent.[1] He is a commentator on global terrorism and Middle Eastern affairs. Phares has testified before committees of the U.S. State, Justice, Defense and Homeland Security, the United States Congress, the European Parliament, and the United Nations Security Council. Since 2007, he has served as an expert on terrorism and the Middle East for Fox News since 2007 and was a terrorism expert for NBC from 2003 to 2006. In 2011, Phares was appointed by Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney as an adviser on foreign affairs. He was subsequently recommended to and chosen by the 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump, as an expert on terrorism, counter-terrorism, and Middle Eastern Affairs. Phares is a Senior Fellow of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. |

| #4 Dear Mr. Al-Sisi, What is your opinion on how Madame Secretary handled herself during 2011? Please take your time, we are aware you never had public office until 2013. |

| #1 Will Hillary be a no-show? She cancelled out on some other events to get treated for pneumonia. |
