US President Donald Trump welcomed Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who had come to power in Egypt, in the White House.

Trump said relations between the US and Egypt are better than ever before.

"I think he's doing a great job. He is a great president," Trump said as he sat down for talks with Sisi in the White House.

Asked whether He supports Sisi's efforts to remain in office until 2034, Trump replied, "I don't know about the efforts but he's a great president."

The Egyptian House of Representatives approved the proposed constitutional amendment in recent months, which paved the way for Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to remain in office until 2034.
