US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton meets with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi at the presidential palace in Cairo July 14, 2012.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in Egypt where she will discuss the country＇s political transition with newly inaugurated Islamist President Mohamed Morsi and other officials.

Clinton, who arrived in Cairo on Saturday on a flight from Abu Dhabi, says she wants to hear what Morsi＇s plans are for moving the country forward.

During the transition over the last year, Egypt＇s economy has suffered both in a lack of growth and a drop in tourism. U.S. officials say Washington has a variety of tools that can help stabilize the economy."

U.S. officials told VOA those tools include a $60 million U.S.-Egypt enterprise fund and a $250 million fund to support small and medium-sized endeavors.

Officials also say Clinton wants to hear from stakeholders across the spectrum about the steps they intend to take on a new constitution and parliament. Morsi has been involved in a power struggle with Egypt＇s military leaders who took control of the country after president Hosni Mubarak＇s resignation in February of last year.

The military leaders have moved to limit the powers of the country＇s first civilian president. Also, they backed a Supreme Court decision, last month, to dissolve parliament. The court said some members were elected illegally.

Several dozen protesters were outside of the presidential palace as Clinton arrived on Saturday. Earlier, Egyptian media reports said activists had called for protests against a perceived U.S. alliance with the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood.

Clinton arrived in Egypt following a weeklong tour of Asia. She also will visit Israel before returning to Washington.
