U.S President Donald Trump Dispatches U.S. troops to DR Congo

U.S President Donald Trump has dispatched U.S. troops to DR Congo for Military Operations and support.

The troops will evacuate U.S Citizens from the country where President Joseph Kabira is expected to refuse to hand over power peacefully.

U.S. President Donald Trump says military personnel have deployed to Central Africa in advance of possible “violent demonstrations” in Congo over results of Sunday’s presidential election.

Trump’s letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says about 80 military personnel and “appropriate combat equipment” deployed to nearby Gabon to support the security of U.S. citizens and staffers and diplomatic facilities in Congo.

Trump’s letter says more military personnel will deploy as needed to Gabon, Congo or neighboring Republic of Congo.

The powerful Catholic church has said its data show a clear winner, angering Congo’s ruling party.
