President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon touted a "wonderful" new treaty to end a violent conflict between two African countries, even as he again bemoaned that he'll receive no Nobel Peace Prize for his effort.
"I am very happy to report that I have arranged, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a wonderful Treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of Rwanda, in their War, which was known for violent bloodshed and death, more so even than most other Wars, and has gone on for decades," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda are not officially at war, but have been engaged in a deadly proxy war. Rwanda accused Congo of backing a rebel group that has fought its government forces and seized key territory.
Trump said representatives from the two countries will be in Washington, D.C. on Monday to sign documents.
"This is a Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World!" he proclaimed.
Trump, who earlier Friday whined that he'll never receive a Nobel Peace Prize because, in his words, "they only give it to liberals," again bemoaned that he'll receive no recognition for his latest deal.
"I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River), and I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in 'The Ages!' No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!" he railed.
