Obama orders US to review aid to Egypt $1.5 billion a year in military and economic assistance

U.S. President Barack Obama urged Egypt's military July 3 to hand back control to a democratic, civilian government without delay, but stopped short of calling the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi a coup d'etat.

In a carefully worded statement, Obama said he was "deeply concerned" by the military's move to topple Morsi's government and suspend Egypt's constitution. He said he was ordering the U.S. government to assess what the military's actions meant for U.S. foreign aid to Egypt - $1.5 billion a year in military and economic assistance.

Under U.S. law, the government must suspend foreign aid to any nation whose elected leader is ousted in a coup.

Obama also urged the military to not arrest Morsi or his supporters.
