Agreement draws scrutiny for its vagueness, with Trump administration eyeing mineral wealth in eastern DRC
Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are expected to sign a peace deal in Washington later on Friday to end fighting in eastern DRC, amid uncertainty over what the agreement means and who stands to benefit.
On Wednesday, the US state department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the foreign ministers of the two countries would sign the deal in the presence of the secretary of state, Marco Rubio. The White House said the US president, Donald Trump, would meet the foreign ministers in the Oval Office.
