DRC and Rwanda sign 'Washington Accord' peace deal
Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) signed a US-brokered peace agreement in Washington on Friday, ending three decades of conflict and ushering in billions in foreign investment to the region. President Donald Trump, flanked by his Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, said the foreign ministers of the two countries signed the agreement in the Oval Office. "They were fighting for years, and it was machetes, it was vicious, people's heads were being chopped off," Mr Trump said at a news conference earlier on Friday. "And I have a man who's very good in that part of the world, very smart, and put them together," he said. "First time in many years, they're going to have peace. And it's a big deal." Mr Trump had enlisted the help of Massad Boulos, a Lebanese-American businessman and the father-in-law of the President's daughter Tiffany. Qatar also joined in mediating the process. Born in Lebanon, Mr Boulos has ties to Africa, having lived and owned businesses in Nigeria. Last month, Mr Boulos said the DRC and Rwanda had submitted a draft peace proposal. Speaking in the Oval Office, Mr Boulos said he had first engaged with the two sides in early April, and the final agreement will be known as the Washington Accord. "There's an economic aspect as well that is extremely important for both countries," Mr Boulos said. "There would be some bilateral agreements with negotiating a mineral deal with the DRC for critical minerals - many American companies have shown interest in investing in the DRC," he said. "Same thing with Rwanda. " The agreement would bring to an end a three-decade conflict in the eastern DRC which escalated earlier this year, when the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels seized the key cities of Goma and Bukavu. A draft of the agreement provided by the state Department includes the disengagement of Rwandan forces and the voluntary repatriation of refugees. It also called for the monthly rotating meetings between DRC and Rwanda, with the US and Qatar attending as observers. Another joint meeting was to be held in Washington within 45 days. The fighting has killed about 3,000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands of others. The DRC, United Nations and the US have long accused Rwanda of providing weapons and training to the M23 rebels. Rwanda denies supporting M23, and says its forces are acting in self-defence against the Congolese army and Hutu militias linked to the Rwandan genocide of ethnic Tutsis in 1994. The conflict is fuelled by the rich mineral resources in eastern Congo. The DRC is the world's largest producer of cobalt, a mineral used to make lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and smartphones. The country also has substantial gold, diamond and copper reserves. M23 and Rwanda are accused of exploiting these resources. On Thursday, Reuters reported that the DRC had dropped its demand for the immediate withdrawal of Rwandan troops, paving the way for the peace deal. Physicians for human rights, an organisation that has worked in the DRC for more than a decade, said the agreement does not ensure that hostilities would not resume through proxy armed groups, and has no reparations component. "We welcome any dialogue and de-escalation in the devastating conflict in eastern DRC, but it is important to note that the new agreement between Rwanda and DRC contains major omissions and does not adequately safeguard civilians in the region," Sam Zarifi, executive director said in a statement on Friday. "There can be no durable peace without meaningful justice. But the agreement signed today sidelines human rights and fails survivors," he said. The economic incentives involved remain unclear as Mr Trump seeks to compete with China in investing in the region's abundant mineral wealth. Mr Trump said it included the US getting "mineral rights" from the Congo. The draft agreement said it would shut down 'illicit economic pathways' and instead "formalise and audit" cross-border mineral trade.

Donald Trump's royal obsession: Diana said he 'gave her the creeps'
Donald Trump once described Princess Diana as his 'dream lady' and 'a genuine princess', even lamenting in his 1997 book that he never had the chance to court her. But while Trump saw her as the ultimate trophy wife, Diana reportedly felt alarmed by his advances - telling a friend he 'gave her the creeps' as bouquets of flowers flooded her Kensington Palace home. Once their divorce was finalised in 1990, Trump continued his relationship with Maples and the pair had a daughter, Tiffany, together in 1993 before marrying later the same year. As his second divorce played out in court, Trump met the Slovenian-American model Melania Knauss at a party in New York City in 1998. He would propose to Melania at the Met Gala in 2004 and marry her in a seaside church in Palm Beach, Florida in 2005, making her both his third wife and the future First Lady of America. And let's not forget Stormy Daniels , the adult film actress who claimed she had a one-night stand with the businessman in 2006. Trump was later found guilty of 34 felony counts stemming from a $130,000 hush money payment he made to Daniels in the run up to the 2016 Presidential Elections. But Trump himself has admitted to only having 'one regret in the women department'. Writing in his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback, he said: 'I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer. 'I met her on a number of occasions,' he continued. 'I couldn't help but notice how she moved people. She lit up the room with her charm, her presence. She was a genuine princess – a dream lady.' It has been reported that Trump attempted to pursue Diana as his 'ultimate trophy wife' after her highly-publicised divorce from Prince Charles in 1996. In a Sunday Times column, former BBC journalist and friend of Diana, Selina Scott recalled huge bouquets of flowers arriving at her Kensington Palace home. This was the same tactic he used when wooing first wife Ivana. 'Trump clearly saw Diana as the ultimate trophy wife,' Scott wrote. 'As the roses and orchids piled up at her apartment she became increasingly concerned about what she should do. 'It had begun to feel as if Trump was stalking her.' Although Trump only met Diana a handful of times, the businessman found it hard to move on after she passed away. In a 1997 radio interview with Howard Stern a few months after Diana's funeral, Trump said he would have 'nailed' her - but suggested he would have had her tested for HIV first. 'Why do people think it's egotistical of you to say you could've gotten with Lady Di?' Stern asked his guest. 'You could've gotten her, right? You could've nailed her?' 'I think I could have,' Trump replied. The two men then acted out a hypothetical scenario in which Trump demanded Diana get tested before they have sex. 'Hey Lady Di, would you go to the doctor?' Stern joked, People Magazine reported. 'Go back over to my Lexus, because I have a new doctor,' Trump added, as if addressing the late princess. 'We wanna give you a little check-up.' In another interview with Stern in 2000, Trump doubled down on his claim that he would have slept with Diana 'without even hesitation'. Discussing his top ten hottest women on the radio show, Trump placed Diana third but only after putting his ex-wife Ivana in second place and Melania in the gold-medal position. Remembering the People's Princess, Trump described her as 'crazy' but said that was just a 'minor detail'. 'I tell you what, I think she's magnificent,' Trump told Stern. 'Lady Di was truly a woman with great beauty. 'I've seen her a couple of times. She was really beautiful, and people didn't realise she was that beautiful. She was supermodel beautiful. 'She had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin, the whole thing.' His comments toward Diana make it all the more impressive that Prince William managed to observe decorum on meeting the American president during his state visit in 2019, at the re-opening of Notre Dame de Paris in December 2024 and yet again at the funeral of Pope Francis in April 2025.

But perhaps the prince always knew what his late mother truly thought of Trump, as previously revealed by Earl Charles Spencer. In 2023, Trump was gearing up to release a new book which he said featured letters from world leaders, politicians, and celebrities - including Princess Diana - who all wanted to 'kiss his a**'. In a cut-throat response, Earl Spencer tweeted: 'Surprised to hear that Donald Trump is apparently claiming that my late sister Diana wanted to "kiss his a***", since the one time she mentioned him to me – when he was using her good name to sell some real estate in New York – she clearly viewed him as worse than an anal fissure.' Trump has been invited to the UK on an 'unprecedented' second state visit which is expected to take place at Windsor Castle in September this year.

Donald Trump tried to pursue Princess Diana as his 'ultimate trophy wife' - but he only gave her 'the creeps'
Donald Trump has a complicated history when it comes to women. He married Ivana Trump in 1977 and stayed with her for over a decade until his affair with model Marla Maples came to light. Once their divorce was finalised in 1990, Trump continued his relationship with Maples and the pair had a daughter, Tiffany, together in 1993 before marrying later the same year. The couple remained married for three years before separating in 1997, citing differing world views. As his second divorce played out in court, Trump met the Slovenian-American model Melania Knauss at a party in New York City in 1998. He would propose to Melania at the Met Gala in 2004 and marry her in a seaside church in Palm Beach, Florida in 2005, making her both his third wife and the future First Lady of America.

Best and worst dressed at Trump's DC military parade
President Donald Trump presided over a military parade this evening in Washington, D.C., on what is also his 79th birthday. The event, held to mark the Army's 250th anniversary, showcased the evolution of the Army, using period uniforms and vintage equipment, including a World War Two-era B-25 bomber. But the parade was not the only thing catching the eye of viewers. Because glamorous guests - including Melania Trump and Tiffany Trump - proudly stepped out in effortlessly chic ensembles. There were some attendees, however, who seemingly missed the mark with a series of fashion faux pas - including Don Jr 's girlfriend Bettina Anderson. Here, FEMAIL has rounded up the best and worst looks from today's event. BEST DRESSED Melania Trump rarely puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion and today was no different. The first lady, 55, commanded attention in a beige pinstripe skirt suit that she paired with pointed-toe grey stilettos. She styled her honey tresses in loose curls that she wore swept forward over one shoulder. Tiffany Trump, 31, who welcomed her first baby - son Alexander - just last month, wowed in a black midi dress that featured statement sleeves and a subtle belt that cinched her in at the waist. She let her signature blonde locks cascade down her chest before accessorizing with metallic gold heels and an Hermes Kelly handbag. JD Vance's wife Usha, 39, has often been praised for her down to earth dressing - and the parade was no different. Fashion fans were delighted to see the mom-of-two take to the stage in a $79 lace top by popular brand NVLT. WORST DRESSED Don Trump Jr's girlfriend Bettina Anderson missed the mark with her all-white ensemble. The pleated long-sleeve shirt and skirt combination left the model, 38, looking a little lackluster and somewhat stiff as she took her place on stage White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, 68, wore a chic print multi-jacket from Lafayette 148 but her ensemble was ruined by her bold choice of sunglasses which caused glaring reflections that distracted many from her prominent viewing spot.
