Ethiopia–United States relations
The U.S under the Abiy admin has had a negative U.S relations. It was from the start of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize when the President criticized Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed by being awarded the Prize which later Abiy responded and said the decisions were up to the Nobel committee and not him and he should have the problem with the Nobel committee. And 2020 the U.S president said it's a very dangerous situation because Egypt is not going to be able to live that way". Referring to the GERD Dam on the Blue Nile which originates from Ethiopia and under Ethiopian jurisdiction. The President also added and said Egypt will “blow up” the 5-billion-dollar dam. This sparked outrage and caused many to denounce it and even the Ethiopian government showed its huge disapproval. Later on, sanctions were being imposed on the country for not allowing Egypt to have the upper hand on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam Project on the Blue Nile, but later on these sanctions were moved away and Ethiopia was allowed getting the decades old aid again.
