Washington: US President Donald Trump said the Middle East was more stable after talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Davos. Trump said the talks covered Gaza, regional security, and a dispute over a massive dam on the Nile River in Ethiopia. Talking about Gaza, Trump repeated his claim that US involvement was decisive. “If we didn’t bomb the Iran nuclear plant, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two months,” he said. Trump’s focus on Middle East stability carries implications for India.
