President Trump praised the leaders of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda for their courage as they signed onto a deal in Washington on Thursday aimed at ending the conflict in eastern Congo and opening the region’s critical mineral reserves to the US government and American companies. „It’s a great day for Africa, a great day for the world“, said Trump, seizing a fresh opportunity to proclaim himself a peacemaker, the AP reports. „Today, we’re succeeding where so many others have failed“, he added.
Trump welcomed Presidents Felix Tshisekedi of Congo and Paul Kagame of Rwanda for the ceremony. Lauded by the White House as a historic agreement brokered by Trump, the pact follows monthslong peace efforts by the US and partners, including the African Union and Qatar, and finalizes a deal signed in June.
