Fact: The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (#GERD) is entirely funded by the people of #Ethiopia through public contributions and domestic resources. It poses no threat to #Egypt’s water security.
Despite this, U.S. President Donald Trump has once again made misleading claims about the dam. During a meeting at the White House with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on 14 July, President Trump falsely stated that he thinks the “U.S. funded the dam” and described it as a threat to Egypt’s water supply.
This follows similar remarks made in June, where the President wrongly asserted the U.S. financed the dam and that it “substantially” reduces the flow of water into the Nile.
Addis Standard believes that, if left unchallenged, such repeated claims risk fueling unnecessary regional tensions. We call on the Ethiopian government to intensify its diplomatic engagement with the United States to address and correct these misleading narratives. AS
