US oversees a peace pledge for east Congo, hoping to access critical minerals

Congo and Rwanda pledge to work toward a peace deal that would ease U.S. access to minerals in resource-rich eastern Congo .

Congo is the world’s largest producer of cobalt, a mineral used to make lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and smartphones.

The risk is that the United States becomes involved in or worsens the militia violence, corruption, exploitation and rights abuses surrounding the mining and trade of east Congo 's riches.

Three months into Trump 's second term, his administration and Republican lawmakers have made good on pledges to pare U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance down to agreements that most directly serve their perception of their strategic and financial interests.

In another such transactional deal, the Trump administration is negotiating with Ukraine over a minerals deal.

If the deal in Congo goes well, it might end up stabilizing the region, a former Cabinet minister says.
