Report: U.S. to Scale Back Egypt Military Aid 
----------------------------------------------


 
The White House is reportedly preparing to announce new cuts to U.S. aid
for Egypt's military government. According to the Washington Post, the
United States will apparently withhold a shipment of a dozen Apache
helicopters. But shipments of spare parts for military equipment and the
training of Egyptian forces will likely continue. The United States has
avoided the automatic suspension of military aid to Egypt by refusing to
deem Mohamed Morsi's ouster a coup.
