The White House claims that it has "seen no evidence" that Egypt is giving Moscow access to deadly weapons.

The White House said on Tuesday that it has seen no indication that Egypt is providing lethal weapon capabilities to Russia, a day after a reportedly leaked Top Secret Document found its way to the press. It was the first official comment from the White House on a reportedly leaked Top Secret Document alleging that Cairo was planning to supply Moscow with lethal weapons. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the US has a long-standing defence relationship with Egypt and that Egypt helps play a useful role in negotiations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. An informed Egyptian source denied in statements to Al-Qahera News claims that Egypt was supplying Russia with lethal weapons, describing the leaked document as a fabrication.
