US President Donald Trump has told ministers from Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan that he will "cut the ribbon" at the inauguration of the controversial Grand Renaissance Dam when it is completed, an Ethiopian minister says.
Sileshi Bekele, Ethiopia's minister for water and irrigation, said Mr Trump made the comments during US-mediated talks aimed at solving a diplomatic row between the three countries over the sharing of the River Nile's waters.
