She later met with Prime Minister Essam Sharaf.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To see where this revolution happened and all that it has meant to the world is extraordinary for me,&#8221; Clinton said. &#8220;It&#8217;s just a great reminder of the power of the human spirit and universial desire for human rights and democracy. It&#8217;s just thrilling to see where this happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Clinton issued a strong statement of praise for Egypt&#8217;s political revolution, declaring she was &#8220;deeply inspired&#8221; by the dramatic change and promising new assistance for America&#8217;s longtime Middle East ally.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton pledged $90 million in emergency economic assistance during a meeting in Cairo with Foreign Minister Nabil Al-Araby. She is the highest ranking U.S. official to visit Egypt since the overthrow of Mubarak.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The United States will work to ensure that the economic gains Egypt has forged in recent years continue, and that all parts of Egyptian society benefit from these gains,&#8221; a State Department statement noted.<\/p>\n<p>While in the region, Clinton is also scheduled to visit neighboring Tunisia to express support for that country&#8217;s revolt.<\/p>\n<p><!--endclickprintinclude--><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br \/>\n<!-- \/cnn_strybtmcntnt --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/cnn_strycntnt --><!-- \/cnn_strycntntrgt --><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>[Read more here|Read the original here|Read more from the original source|Continued here|Read more|More here|View original post here|More|See more here|See original here|Originally posted here|Here is the original post|See the original post|The rest is here|Read the rest here|See the rest here|Go here to read the rest|Go here to see the original|See the original post here|Read the original post|Original post|Read the original|Link|Excerpt from|View post|Visit link|Follow this link|Continue reading here|See the article here|Read this article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Hillary Clinton visits Tahrir Square STORY HIGHLIGHTS NEW: The United States is pledging $90 million in emergency economic assistance Tahrir Square is home to the demonstrations that led to the ouster of long-time Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak Clinton&#8217;s tour lasts less than 15 minutes Cairo, Egypt (CNN) &#8212; U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a short tour of Tahrir Square in the Egyptian capital on Wednesday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-314493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
