Trump Brokers Historic Peace Deal Between Rwanda and DRC, US Gains Mineral Access

Washington D.C. – A historic peace agreement aimed at resolving the decades-long conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was reportedly brokered by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The deal, which was signed in Washington, seeks to bring an end to one of the world's most violent conflicts. The agreement outlines several key provisions, including the withdrawal of troops and the disarmament of rebel groups, notably M23. A significant component of the treaty is a "minerals-for-security" clause, which grants the United States access to critical resources such as cobalt and lithium from the region. In return, the U.S. is expected to provide peacekeeping aid. Trump's Africa adviser, Massad Boulos, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were instrumental in facilitating the shuttle diplomacy between Kigali and Kinshasa, leading to this development. While proponents hail the agreement as a monumental step towards peace, questions have been raised regarding the true nature of the accord – whether it primarily serves as a genuine peace initiative or is largely driven by resource diplomacy.
