Trump to Mediate Talks Between Congo and Rwanda Leaders

U.S. President Donald Trump will host the leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for talks. The meeting aims to advance a peace deal to end a long-running conflict in eastern DRC. The war involves numerous armed groups and has caused a severe humanitarian crisis. Neighboring Rwanda has been repeatedly accused of supporting rebels in the region, a claim it denies. The planned discussions follow months of diplomatic efforts. A spokesperson stated the goal is to secure a commitment from both nations to de-escalate tensions and pursue a lasting political solution. This will be the first time President Trump has personally engaged in high-level diplomacy on this specific conflict. The outcome could significantly impact regional stability in Central Africa.
