In a statement posted to Facebook Saturday, Ethiopian minister of foreign affairs H.E. Gedu Andargachew said he told Ambassador Mike Raynor that a statement Trump made Friday was "incitement of war between Ethiopia and Egypt" that doesn't reflect Ethiopia's partnership with the United States and is not acceptable under international law.
During a Friday call with Sudan and Israel to discuss normalizing relations between Sudan and Israel, Trump referenced a long-simmering dispute -- that involves Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan -- over a dam on the Blue Nile River.
"[Egypt] will end up blowing up the dam," Trump said. "And I said it and I say it loud and clear ... they'll blow up that dam. And they have to do something."
