U.S. Senator McCain Urges US To End Military Aid To Egypt As 30 Die In Clashes -- NBC
The United States should stop sending military aid to Egypt following the overthrow of its democratically elected president by the military, Senator John McCain said, as overnight street battles left at least 30 dead across the divided country.
