Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton Compete To Meet Top Leaders In New York

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton met Egypt's president in New York on Monday as the two US presidential candidates tried to bolster their diplomatic credentials at the United Nations.
Democratic standard-bearer Clinton said last week that she would meet Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, along with leaders from Japan and Ukraine on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
She spent more than an hour locked in private discussions with the Egyptian leader, with aides later saying they had discussed issues ranging from counter-terrorism to human rights.
Trump's meeting with Sisi -- the first time the Republican presidential candidate has met a leader from the Muslim world -- appeared to be a response to his opponent's program.
The former reality TV star, who has previously called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, spoke with Sisi at New York's La Guardia airport, after flying in from Florida.
Trump told Sisi -- who has been much-criticised by rights groups for his intolerance of dissent -- that "under a Trump administration, the United States of America will be a loyal friend, not simply an ally, that Egypt can count on."
