US strategic relations with Egypt peaked during the time of Anwar Sadat, and it was after the peace talks at Camp David (September 1978) that military and economic cooperation between Egypt and the United States intensified and the two countries established close ties. US interests in Egypt include securing Israel and maintaining the 1979 peace treaty, fighting terrorism and controlling fundamentalism, countering the expansion of Russian influence in Egypt and the Middle East, maintaining the US gateway to the region and leading the Arab world, and improving bilateral relations. Maintaining stability and balance of power in the region and military cooperation. The question that the authors of the present study have tried to answer with a descriptive-analytical method and using the theory of defensive realism is what was the foreign policy of the United States towards Egypt after Al-Sisi came to power and what are the goals of the United States? In response, it can be pointed out that US foreign policy is to exploit Egypt for its own interests, and that the US approach has been to pursue a dual and contradictory policy; The United States, on the one hand, is calling for democracy, and on the other, endorsing al-Sisi's government, whose first priority is to ensure stability and peace, maintain a peace treaty with Israel, and maintain its position in Egypt. US-Egyptian relations are aimed at maintaining regional stability, maintaining the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty, and improving bilateral relations.
