If I am Egypt, I want to have water in the Nile






US President Donald Trump affirmed during his NATO meeting at the White House on Monday that the lives of Egypt’s people depend on the Nile River, and that his administration will work to resolve the dispute between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).


“If I am Egypt, I want to have water in the Nile,” Trump said during a press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Monday, adding that the Nile is a “very important source of income and life” for Egypt.


In response, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi praised what he called Trump’s “recognition” of the river’s vital importance for Egyptians in his statement on Tuesday.

I WANT TO HAVE WATER IN THE NILE

Nobody cares if the gerd is completed or not, but we know one thing that is for sure, No one can take a single drop of water from Egypt.

You got the news or your “ imagination” of the day to keep you going.
My guess is you are a lonely woman who hates Ethiopia just because we are on the way to beat tribalism.
You rather focus about the TDF army in Asmara. That is something.

Egypt's share of the nile river stands at 55.5 billion cubic meters per year right now while Sudan’s share is 18.5 billion cubic meters per year, Egypt, with a population of 116 million people will never accept anything less than 55.5 billion cubic meters per year.

War-torn Ethiopia doesn't have the cards, Egypt has all the cards.

The United States values Egypt's geopolitical significance, Egypt's influence in the Middle East and Africa and Egypt's strategic location at the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea, On the other hand, Ethiopia is a war-torn landlocked country that lacks economically important natural resources and strategic location leverage to influence the United States of America decision-making.

The Nile Is Egypt’s Lifeline - U.S. President Donald Trump Renews Warnings Over Ethiopia’s Mega Dam

Donald Trump again criticized Ethiopia's GERD dam in a speech before the Senate, saying the massive hydropower project on the Blue Nile “was built largely with American money” and warned that its operations could critically disrupt the flow of water to downstream Egypt. “The dam has one big problem—it doesn’t let much water through. And Egypt, as many of you know, lives on the Nile. It’s their blood, their heart, their soul. It’s everything to them,

• Donald Trump - I Saw the Dam From Space

Trump emphasized that he had closely followed the GERD issue since his first term in office, citing access to satellite imagery during the dam’s construction phase. “I was getting satellite images and watching this huge structure go up. And I said—what are they doing? Are they really going to block the river?” he told the crowd.

Trump said the situation “shouldn’t have unfolded the way it did.” He added: “We basically funded the thing, and now it’s creating a major crisis. It’s kind of crazy when you think about it.”.

• Egypt’s Water Security at Stake

Trump’s renewed rhetoric underscores growing international concern over the dam’s long-term implications for regional stability. Egypt, a nation of over 110 million people, relies on the Nile for more than 95% of its freshwater needs. It fears that Ethiopia’s filling and operation of the GERD—without a binding agreement—could severely curtail its water supply in times of drought.
