Trump took the bait: Meeting Egyptian President who will be not allowed in US if he wins (0%)

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/trump-egypt-united-nations-228345

NEW YORK — Donald Trump has apparently taken Hillary Clinton's bait.
The Republican presidential nominee will meet on Monday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in New York on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, according to the Egyptian state media.
Story Continued Below

Clinton, the Democratic nominee, announced last week that she would meet with Sisi as well as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, among other foreign leaders, during the annual U.N. gathering. An aide confirmed late Sunday that she'll also be meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
