Trump, the GERD, and the US-Ethiopia Balancing Act, with Cameron Hudson

Trump put the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam back on the table at the G7, sitting next to Egypt's President Sisi and framing the dispute around Cairo, even describing his bond with Sisi as a love affair. The US-Ethiopia relationship is warming at the same time, through a Boeing jet deal, financing for Ethiopia's new international airport, and US backing for Abiy against the Tigrayans.Cameron Hudson, formerly of the CIA, NSC and State Department and now at 54 Advisors and CSIS, joins Jim Stenman to work through whether Washington can be an honest broker on the Nile, why Ethiopia will not negotiate, and how Egypt is trying to isolate Addis. They close on the wider risks across the Horn, including Eritrea, Somaliland's tilt toward Israel, and Somalia's fragmentation.🎧 Follow Global Power Shifts▶️ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@GlobalPowerShifts🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1T2CsAK4983mRNmZPfApRy🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/global-power-shifts/id1791326929📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/globalpowershifts
