The U.S. and Egypt remain allies  although relations have been strained since the 2011 Egyptian revolution, which resulted in the ousting of then-President Hosni Mubarak. Since then there was  a brief period of military rule, the election and subsequent ousting of former President Mohamed Morsi, a transitional government led by Adly Mansour, and now the current government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The Cipher Brief talked to U.S.-Middle East policy expert Steven Cook about the current status of U.S.-Egypt relations. Cook is the Eni Enrico Mattei Senior Fellow for Middle East and Africa Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
