US President Donald Trump is set to sign a peace agreement with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in a move that has raised eyebrows given the ongoing violence in eastern DRC.
Trump will host Rwandan President Paul Kagame and DRC President Felix Tshisekedi at his newly renamed US Institute of Peace, where the historic accord is expected to be signed. The agreement marks a strategic shift by the US government, as it seeks to secure access to critical minerals used in cutting-edge technologies such as electric cars.
The peace deal has been hailed as a major development in efforts to stabilize the region, but critics have expressed concerns that Trump's administration may be prioritizing economic interests over humanitarian considerations. The fact that the agreement was brokered behind the scenes, with little public consultation or engagement from local stakeholders, has fueled skepticism about its true intentions.
Trump's decision to proceed with the signing despite the ongoing violence in eastern DRC has been seen as a pragmatic move by his administration, aimed at promoting stability and security in the region. However, many have questioned whether the US president is willing to put politics over people in pursuit of economic gain.

. The fact that Trump is signing it despite the ongoing violence in eastern DRC seems pretty shady. I mean, what's the real motive here? Is it really about promoting stability and security or is it just about getting access to those critical minerals for electric cars?
. Doesn't that raise some red flags? It's always the same story, the government makes a deal without telling anyone and then expects everyone to trust them 
.
. No more empty promises or PR stunts for Trump 
.
. And let's be real, whoever signs this deal is gonna get major props from the global community 
. But what's really goin' on here? Is Trump's admin just tryin' to line their pockets or is there somethin' more to it? 
Either way, I'm keepin' an eye on this one, 'cause in the world of geopolitics, you can't always rely on good vibes 
.
The fact that the deal was made behind closed doors without much input from locals has me skeptical. Are they even considering the potential risks and consequences of this agreement? 
. But at the same time, I'm worried that they're putting their economic interests ahead of people's lives. Like, isn't stability and security supposed to be more important than getting our hands on some rare minerals? 
I mean, don't get me wrong, stability and security are super important, but shouldn't we make sure the people affected by this deal have a say in how it's handled? 
btw, have u seen the conditions in drc lately? it's heartbreaking 
gotta wonder if trump's more concerned w/ stability or profit 
like i know he's all about that dollar bill 
i'm low-key worried about those eastern drc people tho, all that violence and now trump is just gonna ignore it like it's not a big deal 
And now it feels like our president is just trying to get his hands on some rare minerals and electric car tech because... greed
