The president has made it clear that his administration is rethinking its dealings with Egypt's military.
"While we wanna sustain our relationship with Egypt, our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back."
Mr. Obama has avoided labeling the military's overthrow of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi last month as a "coup." Such a statement would automatically halt $1.3 billion of U.S. aid each year to Egypt's military. The White House is worried that doing so would diminish U.S. influence with the military leaders.
Some prominent American Muslims, including Mahdi Bray, were hoping for tougher action.
"We, the American Muslim Alliance, we want to make it very clear that we will continue a vigorous campaign of we call 'no cash for coup' - calling for the immediate suspension of U.S. assistance, financial aid to Egypt as a result of, indeed, the coup."
The president did, however, call off joint military drills with Egypt.
"As a result, this morning we notify the Egyptian government that we are canceling our biannual joint military exercise which was scheduled for next month."奥巴马总统已经明确表示,他的政府正重新考虑如何处理与埃及的军事关系。
“虽然我们也想继续维持与埃及之间的关系，但是埃及当前的情况却是平民当街被杀、人民权利被剥脱，所以这很难办到。”
奥巴马总统避免将上月推翻埃及总统穆罕默德•穆尔西的军事行动定义为“政变”。“（如果发表）这样的声明，将自动叫停每年给埃及军方的13亿美元援助。白宫担心这样做会削弱其对埃及军方领导人的影响力。
包括马赫迪布雷在内的一些有影响的美国穆斯林人士则希望采取更强硬措施。
“我们美国穆斯林联盟郑重声明，将继续积极推行我们的“绝不援助政变”运动，即呼吁美国立即停止对埃及的财政援助。”
然而总统却只是取消了与埃及的联合军事演习。
“所以，今天早上我们通知埃及政府将取消半年一次的联合军事演习，该演习原定于下个月举行。”
