U.S. Denies Taking Sides in Egypt
Convince the Egyptians
A senior U.S. diplomat has dismissed accusations Washington backs any one side in Egypt, saying the administration supports a balanced and inclusive democratic process.
Deputy Secretary of State William Burns is making highest level visit to Egypt by an American official since Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was overthrown by the military on July 3 following days of mass protests.
Burns held talks Monday with Egypt's interim leaders and the head of the military.
