I am sure the two people talked about a lot of issues .....
The most agenda has to be about possible terrorist attacks on or around 9/11, particularly the take over of Afghanistan by a collection of Islamist groups. .... and others
1. In light of the Afghanistan debacle, US needs to test the stability of the Al-Sisi regime. The same with impact of Saudi regime.
2. Tunisia is in a political crisis
3. Egypt, France and Turkey are in struggle over Libya
4. Sudan is in crisis under a threat of military rule
5. of course, there is Ethiopia, the Horn and the Red Sea.
