The Obama administration said it will not call the overthrow of the Morsi government in Egypt a “coup,” thus enabling US aid to Egypt to continue. A report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction found that US agencies still lack authority to terminate contracts with companies believed to be funding or supporting the insurgents. President Obama will meet with Abdo Rabbu Mansour Hadi, President of Yemen, on Aug. 1 to discuss the two nations’ counterterrorism partnership and US efforts to repatriate Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo who have been approved for transfer, as well as support for Yemen.
