LIVE: DR Congo Denies “Selling Off” Mineral Wealth to the US | Firstpost Africa | N18G

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has denied “selling off” its mineral wealth to the US in return for Washington’s support to counter the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels in the eastern DRC. This comes as Washington moves to dismantle Beijing’s long-standing dominance in the DRC’s minerals sector. Following a peace accord brokered by President Donald Trump in December 2025 between the DRC and Rwanda, Kinshasa has offered American companies preferential access to its vast, largely untapped mineral reserves—estimated to be worth $24 trillion. During a high-stakes Critical Minerals Ministerial in Washington last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance unveiled plans for a new trading bloc to counter Beijing’s grip on critical minerals. However, the deal faces domestic hurdles in the DRC.
