Reuters and CNN reported on Trump's meeting with the Egyptian leader, citing Trump policy adviser Walid Phares and a campaign source, respectively.

Trump himself has declined to name those he will meet with on Monday.

"I will say that with all the folks being in New York, I've had a lot of calls from a lot of different people on the basis that, you know, I'm doing well and, you know, they seem to think it's important to maybe meet me, but, I don't want to comment specifically on who, but a couple of people are coming over," Trump said Monday morning on "Fox and Friends."

"I've already met with a couple," Trump said, declining to name them.

Clinton's campaign announced last week that she would meet with Sisi and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, among other world leaders, during the U.N. assembly. CNN reported she was also scheduled to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Trump's meeting with the Egyptian leader comes as he attempts to furbish his foreign policy credentials in going up against Clinton, a former secretary of State, less than two months from the election.

Trump met privately with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in Mexico last month, and the pair later publicly feuded over who would pay for Trump's proposed border wall.
