The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda have signed a peace deal facilitated by the United States to end the decades-long, deadly fighting in eastern Congo. This is the latest in Mr Trump’s series of peace efforts, as he has tried to ease tensions in India, Pakistan, Iran, Ukraine, and Gaza, with mixed results.

The signing of a peace agreement between the governments of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda in Washington has elicited mixed reactions, with the former Congolese president, Joseph Kabila, describing it as "nothing more than a trade agreement".
