US says there is still time for Egypt to solve crisis through dialogue

The US State Department said Egypt’s political crisis will require compromise and there is still time for dialogue.

US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said talks in Cairo with envoys from the United States, European Union, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates provided a “strong basis to create an environment in which Egypt can move forward.”

“We believe that any solution will require both sides to make compromises,” Psaki told a briefing.

“These decisions can only be made by Egyptians for Egyptians.

We certainly hope they will make them soon,” she added.
