“This is a Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World!” Trump wrote.
Former US President Donald Trump has announced what he described as a “historic treaty” between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda, ending decades of violent conflict in Central Africa. Taking to his social media platform, Trump revealed that the deal, brokered with the help of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio—will be signed in Washington on Monday.
“This is a Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World!” Trump wrote. The long-standing war between the two nations, which he described as “more violent than most other wars,” will officially come to an end with the treaty.
Despite this major diplomatic achievement, Trump used the moment to criticize what he views as a lack of recognition for his previous peace efforts. He listed a series of global conflicts he claimed to have helped mitigate—including between India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia—but for which he was not awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.
“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do,” he said, referencing even his work on the Abraham Accords in the Middle East and potential future efforts in the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Iran conflicts.
While he emphasized his lack of expectation for accolades, Trump concluded by saying, “The people know, and that’s all that matters to me.”
