Cairo (CNN) -- U.S. Sens. John McCain and John Kerry focused on the U.S. and Egyptian economies during a trip to Egypt Saturday and Sunday.
Their stop in Cairo was part of a broader trip to promote U.S. economic ties in the region.
"As America continues to struggle with its economic recovery, we face no more urgent priority than to expand our trade and investment in the world," McCain said in a Sunday statement.

McCain reiterated, in a speech at the plant, America's willingness to provide Egypt with political and financial assistance during the country's transitional phase.
"The American people, on a non-partisan basis, want to see this revolution succeed," McCain said. "The American people will live in a more secure world if this revolution succeeds."
In his remarks at the plant, Kerry mentioned a new "enterprise fund" that would provide "several hundreds of millions of dollars" to help Egyptian small businesses.
Billions of dollars are needed to revive Egypt's economy, Kerry said, but the United States is willing, along with other countries, to provide assistance.

That’s about it isn’t it.
