The United States and Egypt on Monday will hold their highest-level public talks since former President Mohammed Morsi was ousted from power.
Deputy Secretary of State William J. Burns arrived in Cairo Monday to hold meetings with officials from the military-led interim government, according to the New York Times.
Muslim Brotherhood officials vowed Monday to ramp up protests near the presidential palace and defense ministry, however, highlighting the anti-American sentiment running through Islamist circles that believe Washington had a hand in Morsi’s ouster, according to the Times.
