Mnuchin to Host Nile Dam Meeting in Washington

VOA News

   WHITE HOUSE - U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is expected to
   host the foreign ministers of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan, as well as the
   president of the World Bank Group, David Malpass, in Washington on
   Wednesday for a discussion about a giant hydropower dam project on the
   Nile River.

   The controversial project in Ethiopia's section of the river has been
   the focus of an escalating feud between Ethiopia and Egypt over scarce
   water resources.
