The presidents of Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda will travel to Washington next week to sign a peace deal and meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, three sources told Reuters, as the U.S. tries to broker peace in war-hit eastern Congo and attract Western mining investments to the

region.



Two diplomatic sources and Tina Salama, spokesperson for Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi, told Reuters the meeting would take place on December 4.



A spokesperson for Rwandan President Paul Kagame and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Friday.



A White House official told Reuters last week that the Trump administration "continues to work with both parties, and looks forward to welcoming them to the White House at the appropriate time."
