President Donald Trump on Friday announced that he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio helped secure a treaty between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The president said representatives from both countries will meet in Washington, D.C. next week to sign the treaty, which is expected to end the decades-long war between them.

"I am very happy to report that I have arranged, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a wonderful Treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of Rwanda, in their War, which was known for violent bloodshed and death, more so even than most other Wars, and has gone on for decades," Trump posted to Truth Social.

"This is a Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World," he continued. "I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this ... No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me."

Trump was recommended for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize by Pakistan earlier Friday, for his role in helping de-escalate tensions between Pakistan and India earlier this year.
