US President Donald Trump discussed the conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile River and his efforts to achieve peace, RT reported on Sunday.
In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said he is determined to achieve peace between Israel and Iran and establish calm in the Middle East, as he has done in various conflicts, including India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia.
Trump wrote: “Another case (example for him making peace) is Egypt and Ethiopia, and their fight over a massive dam that is having an effect on the magnificent Nile River. There is peace, at least for now, because of my intervention, and it will stay that way!”
“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make. Also, during my first term, Serbia and Kosovo were going at it hot and heavy, as they have for many decades, and this long time conflict was ready to break out into WAR. I stopped it,” he said.
Trumpe said “Likewise, we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place. I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that’s OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump played a mediating role in GERD negotiations in 2019 and 2020, when Washington hosted negotiations between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia under the auspices of the US Treasury Secretary.
These negotiations also ultimately failed.
During the Washington meetings, which were attended by the World Bank, Ethiopia refused to sign the agreement after Egypt had signed it, prompting Trump to insult Addis Ababa.
Trump criticized Ethiopia’s “tough” stance on GERD negotiations, saying in front of cameras that Egypt might “blow up the dam because they won’t be able to live that way.”
He also said of Egypt, “They should have stopped it long before it started.”
Commenting on the agreement, Trump said, “I made a deal for them, but unfortunately Ethiopia broke it. They shouldn’t have done that. It was a big mistake.”
