The US in talks with Congo over mineral resources deal
THE United States is in talks with conflict-plagued Congo over a mineral resources deal, an official from the Trump administration said yesterday.
US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for Africa Massad Boulos did not provide details of the potential deal following talks with Congo’s President Felix Tshisekedi in Kinshasa, but he said it could involve “multibillion-dollar investments.”
Mr Boulos said: “I am pleased to announce that the president and I have agreed on a path forward,” towards a deal.
