President Trump claims credit for the outcome. The main question now is how the treaty will be implemented as fighting still rages in eastern Congo.

By Daphne Psaledakis, Sonia Rolley and Ange KasongoWASHINGTON/PARIS/KINSHASA (Reuters) -Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo signed a U.S.-brokered peace agreement on Friday, raising hopes for an end to fighting that has killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands more so far this year.

The official signing of the peace agreement took place earlier Friday at the State Department and was witnessed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Senior Adviser for Africa Massad Boulos, whom Trump has largely credited with bringing about the deal.
