Trump, Rwanda and DR Congo leaders sign peace deal. All about it
US President Donald Trump and the leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo signed a peace deal in Washington on Thursday (Dec 4). This was even as fighting continued on the ground. "I think it's going to be a great miracle," Trump told reporters after the signing with Paul Kagame, the longtime president of Rwanda, and Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi.
Speaking of the two leaders, he added: "They spent a lot of time killing each other, and now they are going to spend a lot of time hugging, holding hands and taking advantage of the United States of America economically, like every other country does."
Meanwhile, the African leaders took a more cautious tone, as fighting raged in eastern DRC, where the M23 armed group. "There will be ups and downs on the road ahead, there is no doubt about it," said Kagame, whose allies have taken a decisive edge on the ground against his country's turbulent neighbour.

The American president boasted that the eastern DRC conflict, where hundreds of thousands of people have died over several decades, is among the eight wars he has ended since he returned to the White House in January.
"We're going take out some of the rare earth," Trump said. “And everybody's going to make a lot of money.”
