President Donald Trump hosted the leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo for the signing of the "Washington Accords" peace deal at the United States Institute of Peace Thursday, saying that the U.S. agrees to buy rare earth minerals from the two nations.

Trump said the Washington Accords deal formalizes the terms the two countries agreed to in June, including a permanent ceasefire, the disarmament of non-state forces, provisions for refugees to return to their homes, and justice and accountability for those who have committed illegal atrocities.
