US President Donald Trump has offered to restart US mediation between Egypt and Ethiopia over Nile River water disputes linked to Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said he welcomed the proposal, citing concerns over water security. Sudan’s military leader also backed the offer. Ethiopia maintains that the dam is vital for national development and rejects downstream claims.
