More from the cited article ...

... President Donald Trump says the deal gives the United States "a lot of the mineral rights" from Congo. His administration has pushed to gain access to minerals key to much of the world's technology and is seeking to counter China, a key player in the region where the U.S. presence and influence have eroded. ...
... In what the U.N. has called "one of the most protracted, complex, serious humanitarian crises on Earth," the deal includes a commitment to protect and facilitate humanitarian access for displaced people in Congo, estimated to be more than 7 million.

The two countries also commit to creating an economic framework "to expand foreign trade and investment derived from regional critical mineral supply chains," including ones that "link both countries, in partnership, as appropriate, with the U.S. government and U.S. investors."

Uncertainty over whether the hostilities will end

Analysts say it is going to be difficult for the M23 rebels to withdraw from the cities they seized during their major advance this year and that such withdrawal may either take a long time or another round of fighting. ...

So Pres Trump seems to be looking to mitigate the stranglehold that China has over the US regarding rare-earth minerals?

If that is the case, well, kudos.
