(CNSNews.com) – After deliberating for more than two months, the Obama administration announced Wednesday it will withhold several hundred million dollars’ worth of aid to Egypt–not because it has decided that the military takeover amounted to a coup, but because of some of its actions were “not consistent with inclusive democracy and nonviolence.”
Administration officials in a background briefing confirmed there has been no change in its stance on the matter: It has not determined, and does not believe it needs to determine, whether the removal of elected President Mohammed Morsi on July 3 was a coup.
