In late 2025 and early 2026, the United States, under the Trump administration, brokered several significant international agreements. These included a December 2025 peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda to end regional conflict, a proposed 21-point plan for peace in Gaza, and an August 2025 agreement to aid in settling the Armenia–Azerbaijan conflict.
Key US-Brokered Peace Deals (2025-2026):
- DRC-Rwanda Peace Deal (Dec 2025): Signed in Washington, DC, this agreement aimed to end decades of conflict in eastern Congo, involving a permanent ceasefire, rebel disarmament, and, according to reports, US-backed economic frameworks.
- Gaza Strip Peace Plan (2025-2026): Dubbed the "Trump 21-point plan," this initiative involved a phased approach including a ceasefire, release of hostages, and, as of early 2026, efforts to transition to a more permanent resolution.
- Armenia-Azerbaijan Agreement (Aug 2025): Facilitated by the US, this agreement focused on ending the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through a joint declaration and intended framework for peace.
These deals often featured the US acting as a "guarantor" for enforcement, aiming to address both security and economic interests, particularly in the case of the Great Lakes region in Africa.
