African leaders seek to charm Trump with talk of Nobel Peace Prize

Five leaders from Africa endorsed President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize as they advocated for their countries’ interests at the White House.

Leaders from Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal praised Trump for his foreign policy, particularly last month’s peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, ending the 30-year war and potentially providing the U.S. with access to their rare earth minerals, including the DRC’s coltan supply.
