President Donald Trump scored three major foreign policy victories this week.
Almost overlooked amid the successful military strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites and NATO allies agreeing to increase annual defense spending to 5% of their gross domestic product, the Trump administration also facilitated a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. The peace deal ends a 30-year conflict in Africa between Congo and Rwanda.
“They were going at it for many years, and with machetes,” Trump said Friday of the two warring nations. “It is one of the worst, one of the worst wars that anyone’s ever seen.”
Rwandan Foreign Affairs Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe and the Congolese Foreign Affairs Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner were in Washington on Friday for the signing of the deal, which was overseen by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
