Lots of things have been going on around the world today. But one that really sticks out to me is the events going on in Egypt. On July 3rd, the military overthrew their president Mohamad Morsi. Now tyhe country is nearly self destructing because of all the violence of this. But what can this mean for the U.S.? It means that gas prices could continue to rise and cost us a fortune. The imports of gas and oil are driving up because of shipping insurance. The U.S. also relies on Egypt on several more issues such as counterterrorism, and Arab-Isreal peace. But we don't know the outcome of these issues because we don't know the outcome of the Egypt mess. The U.S. will have to wait to see what happens but for know all we hope for is that whatever happens benefits us.
