Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi plans to award US President Donald Trump the Collar of the Nile, the country's highest state honour, citing his role in advancing peace efforts and helping end the war in Gaza. In a statement Monday, the Egyptian presidency said the decision recognises Trump's "distinguished contributions to supporting peace efforts and defusing conflicts" across the region. The Collar of the Nile, Egypt's highest order of merit founded by Sultan Husain Kamil in April 1915, is traditionally reserved for visiting heads of state and influential figures whose actions have advanced peace or strengthened relations with Egypt. Among its past recipients are Nelson Mandela, Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, Queen Elizabeth II, and Emperor Akihito of Japan.
