A historic breakthrough unfolded in Washington as President Donald Trump hosted leaders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo for the signing of the “Washington Accords.” The agreement aims to end a conflict that has lasted more than three decades, establishing a permanent ceasefire, the disarmament of non-state groups, justice measures for past atrocities, and the return of displaced refugees.
During the ceremony, Trump also announced new bilateral deals that will allow the United States to purchase rare earth minerals from both nations — a move positioned as strengthening U.S. access to critical resources while supporting economic development in Central Africa.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame and Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi both praised the diplomatic effort, calling the agreement a long-awaited turning point toward lasting peace.
