Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United States responded to Gamal Abdul Nasser's declaration of neutrality in the Cold War by going back on its promise to finance the Aswan Dam project. In 1956, the U.S. government withdrew its offer to help finance the construction of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River in Egypt. This move was a way of expressing U.S. dissatisfaction with Nasser's neutral stance in the Cold War and his growing ties with the Soviet Union. The withdrawal of American assistance set the stage for a series of events that ultimately led to the Suez Crisis.
