Congo Launches US-Backed Mining Guard to Enhance Site Security

The Democratic Republic of Congo has established a paramilitary mining guard to secure its mining sites and mineral supply chains. This initiative, backed by a $100 million budget from the United States and the United Arab Emirates, aims to curb smuggling and improve security in the mining sector. Congo, a major producer of cobalt and copper, faces challenges from a Rwanda-backed rebellion in its mineral-rich east. The new mining guard will gradually deploy across the country's mining regions, with an initial contingent operational by December 2026. The guard's responsibilities include securing mine sites, escorting mineral shipments, and safeguarding investments.

In the first quarter of 2026, China's trade surplus with the EU reached $83 billion, driven by a substantial increase in Chinese EV sales. This influx has been attributed to European demand for Chinese cars, including those from automaker BYD. The EU has proposed a 'Made in Europe' strategy to protect its industries, while China has warned of potential retaliatory measures if the EU's policies are deemed discriminatory.
