Khrushchev backs Egypt as West warned over reprisals
In Moscow Khrushchev endorsed Egypt's seizure of the Suez Canal and warned the West against reprisals as Eisenhower sends Dulles to London to map strategy. The United States froze assets of the Suez Canal Company and Egyptian government and urged restraint while seeking international control for open canal navigation. Cairo promised freedom of navigation citing 1888 convention and 1954 Anglo Egyptian commitments. Britain outlined troop movements around the canal and Egypt’s paid-for destroyers to sail from Portsmouth, with some Royal Navy crews recalled for potential show of force.
