The U.S.'s decision to withhold $130 million in security aid to Egypt amounts to a fraction of the $1.3 billion it generally gives Cairo annually

WASHINGTON—The Biden administration will withhold $130 million in foreign security assistance to Egypt for a second time, symbolically penalizing Cairo for its human rights record while also aiming to maintain diplomatic ties with this Middle Eastern ally.

The decision comes as some of President Biden’s closest Democratic allies in Congress have called for tougher measures against the government of President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, including a full suspension of aid to Egypt.

Specifically the fraction 1/10. This math is not hard.
