The article focuses on Egypt's background and its relations with the United States, highlighting three key topics: Egypt's strategic importance due to its geography, demography, and diplomacy; the country's economic crisis and reliance on international financial assistance; and the balancing act of U.S.-Egyptian relations. The U.S. has historically provided significant foreign aid to Egypt, primarily for regional stability and to support the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty.
