Trump offers to restart U.S. mediation in Egypt-Ethiopia Nile water dispute over GERD dam.
On January 16, 2026, President Donald Trump announced he is prepared to restart U.S. mediation efforts between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Nile River water dispute, focusing on Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
The dam, completed in 2023, has heightened tensions, with Egypt fearing reduced water flow and Ethiopia emphasizing its importance for energy development.
Trump, citing a letter to Egyptian President Sissi, said the U.S. is ready to facilitate talks to resolve the issue, though previous mediation efforts ended in 2020.
No new details on the mediation framework were provided, and the conflict remains unresolved.
