The U.S. withdrew its support for the Aswan Dam in 1956 primarily due to geopolitical shifts and rising tensions in the Cold War context. After Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, the U.S. opposed his policies, fearing they would lead to increased Soviet influence in the region. Additionally, concerns about the dam's economic viability and environmental impact contributed to the decision to halt funding. This withdrawal marked a significant shift in U.S. relations with Egypt and the broader Middle East.
