"We're going to certainly consider it," Trump said as he met President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Egypt had been furious over the US decision to freeze USD 195 million in military aid in response to Egypt's poor record on democracy and civil liberties.
The decision, made earlier this year, came as a surprise because Trump had pledge strong ties with the key US ally after they deteriorated under Barack Obama.
But that relationship has been tested since the July 2013 overthrow of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi and the subsequent bloody crackdown on Morsi's supporters.
That has been followed by a much tighter grip on non- governmental groups and the military government's critics.
"The relationship is very good," Trump said today.
