Egypt praises Trump criticism of media coverage of attacks

Egypt praised on Tuesday U.S President Donald Trump's criticism of Westernmedia for what he said was their limited coverage of some militant attacks around the world, a statement from the Foreign Ministry said.

"The Foreign Ministry hailed the U.S. administration stance in this regard, referring to Egypt's repeated calls upon the international community to adopt a comprehensive, coordinated and  non-selective strategy to combat terrorism at all levels; security, political, cultural, media and others," the statement said.
