The United States is cutting hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Egypt in response to the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi and the crackdown by the military-backed government on his supporters.
The U.S. provides $1.5 billion in aid each year to Egypt. While the State Department did not provide a dollar amount of what was being withheld, most of it was expected to be military aid. A U.S. official said the aid being withheld included 10 Apache helicopters at a cost of about $500 million.
The official provided the information only on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to comment by name.

Why not cut it all? To every country! Let them beg and show reason and cost for what they need and can't provide for themselves!
Nancy says, "Just say NO!"
It is being cut because Obama is mad that the military there is cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood.
I read this morning that this aid has been reconsidered & granted. So, who's correct?
