A senior US official warned Egypt on Monday that if it purchases Russian fighter jets it risks American sanctions.
R. Clarke Cooper, the State Department's assistant secretary in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, made the comment to journalists on the sidelines of the biennial Dubai Airshow.
Cooper said the planned purchase of Russian jets puts Egypt at risk of sanctions and it puts them at risk of loss of future acquisition."
