 President Donald Trump will host Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi at the White House on April 3, the White House said Tuesday.

Trump "looks forward to welcoming" Sisi, the executive mansion said in a statement.

The leaders will use the visit to "build on the positive momentum they have built for the United States-Egypt relationship", spokesman Sean Spicer said.

Among the issues they will discuss is the campaign to defeat ISIL and the pursuit of peace and regional stability, he added.
