More bizarre word salad from Trump:

Trump: "Let's go to batteries where we have to go to the Congo and get it from China. But I actually stopped the war with Congo and Rwanda and they said to me, 'please, please, we would love you to come and take our minerals.' Which we'll do."

Sporadic gunfire and explosions have been reported as M23 rebels advance towards a key city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, in an offensive that has forced thousands to flee across the border into Burundi.

Residents and military sources said soldiers were fleeing the assault on Uvira, the last government-held city in the mineral-rich region.

US President Donald Trump brokered a peace deal last week between DR Congo's President Félix Tshisekedi and Rwanda's Paul Kagame to end the long-running conflict but fighting has continued.

"It's chaotic, nobody's in charge. Uvira is done for," a Burundian officer told AFP news agency.
