On DR Congo, the lawmakers argued that the agreement could give US companies preferential access to the country's mineral resources while conflict and human rights violations continue.

"We were alarmed to learn the Trump administration has since signed a 'Strategic Partnership Agreement' (SPA) with the DRC which calls for sweeping changes to the DRC's constitution and grants U.S. companies a 'right of first offer' on mining concessions," they said.
