Trump Criticizes UN, Nile Dam Dispute Unresolved
Imagine the UN as a club meant to solve problems, but Trump thinks it just talks.
He's also involved in a fight over the Nile River.
Ethiopia wants to build a dam that worries Egypt and Sudan, because they rely on the river.
Trump tried to help, but the countries didn't agree.
His efforts included meetings and statements.
Now, the dam is almost done, tensions are still high, and Trump continues to claim he can solve the dispute.
Some feel his actions made things worse, and others think he is a great leader.
Trump criticized the UN for failing to resolve international conflicts.
The Nile River dispute involves Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan over water rights.
Trump's administration attempted to mediate the Nile dispute in 2019-2020.
The US suspended aid to Ethiopia due to the dispute.
Tensions remain high, and the dam construction continues.
