U.S. officials will not meet with visiting members of a delegation from Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, a State Department spokesman said on Tuesday. Egypt summoned the U.S. ambassador in Cairo to show displeasure at Muslim Brotherhood figures coming to Washington for a private conference, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday. "There was never any meeting planned," State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said at a news briefing. "We haven't reversed a decision. We've met with them in the past, and our policy remains the same." The tensions reflect a clash between U.S. diplomats' desire to deal with the whole political spectrum in Egypt and a fear of alienating Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. *This story was edited by Ahram Online. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/132384.aspx
