Washington’s thinking at that time was twofold.

Sisi Makes First Visit to Iraq by Egyptian Leader in Decades
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi arrived in Baghdad on Sunday, becoming the first Egyptian head of state to travel to Iraq since former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990, rupturing diplomatic ties between the two countries.
