Addis Ababa, October 24, 2020 (FBC) –U. S. Congressman Jason Crow has condemned President Donald Trump’s comments about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
During the announcement of a breakthrough normalization deal between Israel and Sudan last night, the President suggested that Egypt may destroy the dam.
“They’ll end up blowing up the dam. And I said it and I say it loud and clear – they’ll blow up that dam. And they have to do something,” he said.
Republican Jason Crow reacted angrily to Donald Trump’s comment.
“The President’s comments about the GERD are reckless & uninformed – Ethiopia is a long-time ally of the U.S.,” he tweeted.
“The U.S. must act as an honest broker to ensure a sustainable diplomatic settlement and stop senseless foreign aid cuts,” he added.
The construction progress of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has reached 76.35%.The dam will start generating power with two turbines in 2021.
