He is set to join Rwandan President Paul Kagame and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Félix Tshisekedi on Thursday for the official signing of the DRC-Rwanda Peace Agreement.

The accord is widely regarded as the most significant breakthrough in efforts to end decades of conflict in Eastern DRC.

The high-level ceremony, set to take place at the White House, follows months of behind-the-scenes shuttle diplomacy, security consultations, and intensified regional engagement led by the US with support from key African partners, including Kenya.
