The situation in Egypt remains unsettled, and the U.S. Grains Council’s first priority is ensuring the safety of our staff.

The U.S. Embassy in Cairo was closed on Sunday, July 14 (a work day in Egypt) and reopened on Monday, July 15. The Embassy currently has posted a security message to U.S. citizens warning of possible demonstrations on Friday, July 19. The Council’s Cairo office was closed Monday but opened Tuesday and Wednesday. The staff will make a day-to-day decision on whether the streets are quiet enough for safe travel between home and office.
