Trump Offers to Mediate Egypt-Ethiopia Nile Dam Dispute

Pro-Trump narrative

No single state should exercise unilateral control over the Nile’s vital resources at the expense of downstream neighbors. Egypt and Sudan face acute water-security risks from Ethiopia’s dam, making binding guarantees on downstream flows during droughts indispensable. Robust United States mediation could deliver a balanced framework—allowing Ethiopia to generate and export electricity while ensuring predictable water releases that safeguard millions of lives downstream.
