The thirty year alliance between the United States and Egypt has been shaken a problem over foreign funding in Egypt. Egypt's government said that they are putting 19 Americans and 24 others on trial for the foreign funding of nonprofit organization. There is already so much tension in Egypt with their people protesting in the streets, the country needs much foreign aid, and Islamist Parliament members are in negotiation with military leaders to set the country for a long time. This is a problem if these 19 Americans face trial because America was going to give $1.55 billion in aid to Egypt. If this trial happens to these Americans then the aid might not happen, but it would ruin an alliance that has lasted a while. So what will the United States choose? To ruin an alliance or let Egypt try American citizens?
