Ethiopian official denies Donald Trump's claim that US funded River Nile dam

Ethiopian official refutes Donald Trump's claim of US funding for River Nile dam, Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (Gerd). The 14-year construction of Gerd was primarily funded by the Ethiopian government and its people, not with US money. Trump's statements have sparked controversy surrounding the dam, which has become a source of pride for Ethiopians but has raised concerns for Egypt and Sudan over the Nile's water flow.
