Egypt welcomes Trump's offer to mediate Nile River water dispute with Ethiopia



President Donald Trump’s offer to settle a dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia over Nile River waters has drawn thanks from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, as the two African nations continue their decadeslong quarrel over water security.

Trump said in a letter to the Egyptian leader on Friday that he was “ready to restart U.S. mediation between Egypt and Ethiopia to responsibly resolve the question of ‘The Nile Water Sharing’ once and for all.”

Responding on Saturday, el-Sissi said the Nile River “represents the lifeline of the Egyptian people” and that his country supported Trump’s efforts.
