Trump mocks African leaders on stage? 'Spent years killing, now they'll take advantage of USA…'

Donald Trump "joked" that the leaders of the DRC and Rwanda had “spent years killing each other” and would now “spend years hugging” and “taking advantage of the USA economically.” His remarks came moments before the signing ceremony for the DRC–Rwanda deal at the newly renamed Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. The agreement—signed earlier this year by both nations’ foreign ministers—comes amid renewed clashes in eastern DRC, with Kinshasa accusing Rwanda of backing militants, a charge Kigali denies. Trump hailed the pact’s peace and economic components, saying it would boost trade with Washington.
