U.S. President Donald Trump and Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok on Friday called for an amicable solution to be reached over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) dispute with Ethiopia and Egypt. Hamdok, speaking by phone with Trump following Sudan and Israel's announcement to normalize ties, said he wanted to reach an amicable solution. Trump, who held the call in front of reporters at the White House, said he had also told Egypt the same thing. Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi has repeatedly affirmed Egyptian constants regarding a resolution for the GERD dispute, stressing the need to resume tripartite negotiations in order to reach a binding and comprehensive legal agreement between all concerned parties on the rules for filling and operating the dam.
