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.
