Egyptian president thanks Trump for dam mediation

January 19, 2026

EGYPTIAN President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi thanked his US counterpart Donald Trump at the weekend for offering to serve as a mediator with Ethiopia over sharing water from a Nile mega-dam at the centre of more than a decade of tensions.

Trump had said last week that he was “ready to restart US mediation” to resolve the question of water sharing along the Nile, upon which Egypt relies for 97% of its water needs.

Sisi said he welcomed “Trump's attention to the central importance of the Nile River issue for Egypt, as it represents the lifeline of the Egyptian people” in a post on X.

He added that he had a desire to cooperate with other countries along the river “without harming any party”.
