Rwanda’s President Kagame Praises Trump for Pragmatic Africa Policy Amid Rwanda-DRC Peace Deal
Rwandan President Paul Kagame commended U.S. President Donald Trump for de-emphasizing democracy and human rights rhetoric in favor of tangible, results-driven engagement with Africa. Speaking in December 2025, Kagame highlighted the historic Washington Accords signed by Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which aimed to resolve decades-long conflict and promote economic cooperation, including U.S. purchases of rare earth minerals. Kagame emphasized that the agreement addresses root causes of the conflict, though he noted that implementation remains a challenge. He also contrasted Trump’s transactional approach with previous U.S. administrations, which often focused on theoretical narratives around democracy and human rights. Despite initial optimism, renewed clashes involving the M23 rebel group have raised concerns over Rwanda’s compliance with the deal, prompting rising diplomatic tensions in East Africa.
