President Trump announced a U.S.-brokered peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, ending nearly three decades of conflict. The agreement, signed in Washington, aims to halt bloodshed in eastern DRC, where a Rwandan-backed militia occupies land. Trump stated the U.S. will apply significant pressure to ensure compliance, including financial penalties. The deal also grants the U.S. access to DRC's mineral resources. The agreement is hailed as a major breakthrough by the Trump administration, alongside other recent peace initiatives.
