Trump's Congo-Rwanda Peace Deal Unravels Amidst Violence, Pentagon Scandal, and Royal Quips

Congo-Rwanda Peace Deal Collapse

• 🕊️ A peace deal brokered by President Trump between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, signed at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, has quickly unraveled.
• ⚠️ Fresh reports indicate machete-fueled violence in the Kivu border province, an area active with the M23 rebel group, shortly after the ceremony.
• 💔 Despite Trump's prediction of leaders hugging and holding hands, their facial expressions suggested a lack of warmth, and the violence on the ground contradicts the peace agreement's intent.
• 🌍 The conflict in eastern Congo has a long history, with the M23 rebellion continuing and impacting civilians, resulting in millions of deaths over decades.

Pentagon Scandal and "Double Tap" Strike

• 🚨 US reporter Anita Powell discusses a "double tap" attack on suspected Venezuelan drug boats, where a second strike occurred after individuals were seen clinging to the vessel.
• ⚖️ This action raises questions about international law, particularly firing on shipwreck victims, which is explicitly illegal according to military manuals.
• 🔒 The onus is on the top military commander to refuse illegal orders, and an admiral is testifying behind closed doors to Congress regarding the strike.
• 🗣️ While Secretary of War Pete Hegs is under scrutiny, his standing with President Trump appears to be secure, which is deemed most important in the Trump administration.

Prince Harry's Quip and Royal Commentary

• 👑 Prince Harry made a quip on Stephen Colbert's show, referring to President Trump as an "elected king," referencing Trump's comments about his ancestor George III.
• 🤔 While the delivery was described as clunky, the sentiment was understood, and Prince Harry, as a royal himself, is considered well-equipped to comment on royalty.
• 📱 There has been no public reaction from Donald Trump on Truth Social regarding Prince Harry's comment, with Trump's posts focused on other political matters.
• 📚 Prince Harry was promoting a new product, possibly a book, during his appearance on the show.
