Former US President Donald Trump has offered to resume mediation between Egypt and Ethiopia to resolve their longstanding dispute over Nile River water sharing. In a letter to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Trump emphasized that no country should unilaterally control the Nile's resources to the detriment of others. The dispute centers on Ethiopia's Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which Egypt and Sudan fear could reduce water flow, while Ethiopia views it as vital for development. Egypt has welcomed Trump's offer, affirming its concerns about water security.
