WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump<\/a> said Friday that he was ready to restart U.S. mediation efforts between Egypt and Ethiopia with an eye toward resolving long-standing issues of water sharing from the \u2060Nile River.<\/p>\n

Washington-led mediations began during Trump’s first term, but they effectively collapsed in 2020, when Ethiopia withdrew<\/a> \u2014 though some discussions later continued under the African Union.<\/p>\n
