US EditionTrump Offers to Mediate Egypt-Ethiopia Nile Dam Dispute
Trump proposed technical talks to ensure drought water releases and power generation amid the Nile dispute, where Egypt relies on the river for 97% of its water, officials said.
- Recently, U.S. President Donald J. Trump offered to restart American-led mediation between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan in a letter to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, posting it on social media to stress his readiness.
- Addis Ababa inaugurated the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on September 9, placing Africa's largest dam on the Blue Nile near Sudan.
- Washington-Led mediation began during Trump's first term but collapsed in 2020 when Ethiopia withdrew, although talks later continued under the African Union; Trump has praised Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and echoed Cairo's concerns about Nile water.
- The GERD would produce more than 5,000 megawatts, doubling Ethiopia's electricity generation capacity, while Egypt says the project risks reducing Nile River water shares vital for its more than 100 million people.
- With the dam's September 9 inauguration, heightened downstream anger in Cairo raises stakes for U.S. mediation role, while Trump's recurring claims of 'eight wars' and 'eight and a quarter' accompany his renewed push.
