Trump confirms work on resolving the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam crisis between Egypt and Ethiopia
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his administration is making efforts to reach a fair solution to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam crisis, during a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. This issue is considered one of the most important matters occupying Egyptian public opinion, given its direct impact on Egypt's share of Nile River water.
In his remarks, President Trump indicated that the United States is seeking to bridge the gap between Cairo and Addis Ababa. He emphasized that the goal of this mediation is to reach an agreement that guarantees the rights of all parties and achieves stability in the Nile Basin region.
In a related context, the U.S. President criticized the Ethiopian side's handling of the negotiations in the recent period. These statements come at a time when Egypt continues to emphasize the necessity of reaching a legally binding agreement on the rules for filling and operating the dam, to ensure that its water interests are not harmed.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam issue remains a top priority for Egyptian diplomacy, as Cairo consistently seeks to resolve the crisis through dialogue and international negotiations. Citizens in Egypt are awaiting the results of these diplomatic moves, hoping for a solution that preserves the country's water security and ensures the continued flow of Nile water.
