In December 2025, Rwandan President Paul Kagame praised the Trump administration's approach to diplomacy in Africa. Kagame stated that the US's focus on transactional deals, rather than promoting democracy and human rights, has a greater chance of improving lives. He highlighted the significant attention and pressure brought by the US to the conflict between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, which led to a tentative deal signed in Washington on December 4th. Kagame, who has led Rwanda for over 30 years, noted he had never witnessed such a level of focus on resolving the conflict. He believes this approach, prioritizing tangible improvements, is more effective.
