The U.S. is delaying the planned delivery of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt because of the “fluid situation” in that country after the military’s ouster of former President Mohamed Mursi, a Pentagon spokesman said.
“Given the overall situation in Egypt right now, we thought it prudent to make this decision,” Defense Department spokesman George Little told reporters today at the Pentagon.
