'We Met In A Hotel & We Fell In Love, Deeply In Love': Trump Reveals His 'Chemistry' With Egypt President

Evian: Is Trump in love with Egypt President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi? US President Donald Trump has once again grabbed international attention with his diplomatic talks on the global stage. The latest addition to his bizarre comments came on Wednesday on the sidelines of the G7 Summit when he met Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.

During the bilateral meeting, Trump was asked by reporters if he supports Egypt's water security and its position on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile River. Trump gave an exaggerated response to this query, stating that he supports Egypt and that Egypt President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is his “friend from day one”.

He then went on to narrate the story of when and how he first met Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.

Recalling the 2016 US Presidential campaign when he was contesting against Hillary Clinton, Trump said, “I met him early in the campaign when Crooked Hillary and I were running against each other, right, and I was told that the President of Egypt is here. That was a big deal."

“So, he was in a hotel and I met him. And we fell in love, deeply in love. And he didn't even want to see Hillary. He said, you're going to win. I don't want to meet her," Trump added.

“We had a good relationship right from the beginning…We didn't know each other before that. We had great chemistry. And I stayed twice as long as I was supposed to."

Trump further said that the Egyptian President did not even want to meet Clinton. 

“But he did [meet her] because he's a gentleman, but lasted about one minute,” Trump added.

During a media briefing on the sidelines of the G7 Summit, Sisi thanked Trump for his understanding of the "challenging issue of the dam".
