Two Republican senators have gone to Egypt with the backing of President Obama to try to end the unrest and chaos that has gripped the country since the military ousted the country’s leader last month.

Sens. John McCain, of Arizona, and Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, arrived Monday in the capital of Cairo to meet with interim leaders including President Adly Mansour and Defense Minister Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

They arrived amid a roughly 30-day standoff between Egypt's military-backed government and protesters who support ousted President Mohammed Morsi -- a member of the Muslim Brotherhood political party.

Neither senator has so far publicly commented on the unannounced trip, though both are experienced in foreign policy and diplomacy.

They arrived with the U.S. Embassy in Egypt closed amid a terror threat and more than 1,000 pro-Morsi supporters marching Monday through Cairo.

Meanwhile, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns also is in Egypt as part of U.S. mediation efforts.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said McCain and Graham are representing “the United States Congress” while Burns represents the administration.
