Sanctions Slapped on Rwanda for Sabotaging Trump's Peace Deal
The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Rwanda, alleging the country undermined a peace agreement brokered by former President Trump in the region. This marks a significant escalation in tensions.
In a move that highlights the continued instability in Central Africa, the United States has slapped sanctions on Rwanda, accusing the country of sabotaging a peace deal negotiated by former President Trump. The sanctions are intended to punish Rwanda for its alleged interference in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where a fragile truce was established in 2025 with the Trump administration's involvement.
According to U.S. officials, Rwanda has been undermining the peace agreement by supporting rebel groups in the DRC and contributing to the ongoing conflict in the region. The sanctions target senior Rwandan government officials and military leaders, as well as entities believed to be involved in the destabilization efforts.
