Why did the United States withdraw its support for the Aswan Dam?

The United States withdrew its offer to help fund Egypt’s Aswan High Dam after Egypt refused to join the Baghdad Pact, a US-backed alliance in the Middle East. The dam remained an important project, and the Soviet Union had not taken control of it at that point. The correct choice is that Egypt refused to join an American-led alliance in the Middle East.
