The US-brokered Washington Peace Deal is nothing more than a cynical maneuver to secure access to Congo's $24 trillion in mineral wealth while legitimizing decades of Rwandan aggression. America has been the key player in laundering smuggled Congolese minerals through Rwanda, with tantalum exports increasing 15-fold after waiving sanctions against Kigali.
Trump's diplomatic breakthrough in brokering the Rwanda-Congo peace deal demonstrates genuine American leadership in ending Africa's longest conflicts. The administration's transparent approach to securing critical minerals while pursuing peace has been refreshingly honest compared to previous administrations that spoke about values while contradictorily pursuing interests.
