Exclusive — Republic of Congo President Denis Sassou Nguesso: ‘Very Happy’ Trump Is Linking Peace, Economic Development 373 President of the Republic of Congo Denis Sassou Nguesso is interviewed by Breitbart NewsCourtesy of the Republic of Congo Matthew Boyle24 Sep 2025New York, NY1,567 13:50 NEW YORK — President of the Republic of Congo Denis Sassou Nguesso told Breitbart News exclusively here on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that he is encouraged by American President Donald Trump’s worldwide push to link peace deals to economic prosperity. Nguesso sat with Breitbart News for a nearly hourlong exclusive interview in his hotel suite at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan a few hours after Trump addressed the UNGA. Nguesso, who speaks French, spoke to Breitbart News through a translator about his country’s relations with the United States as well as his views on Trump. Nguesso has served as president of the Republic of Congo since 1997 and previously served in the role from 1979 to 1992 as well. His tenure makes him one of the longest serving world leaders anywhere on the planet, and he has dealt with every American president dating back to Jimmy Carter’s administration.

(Courtesy of the Republic of Congo) “We have just watched President Trump’s speech to the General Assembly,” Nguesso said. “And I remembered, for my part, the two main things is that President Trump insisted on peace problems. He even said that if he was in power back then, war between Russia and Ukraine would not have taken place in the first place. The second aspect is the matter of development and growth for every people, every country. My own career has marked by issues of peace and development. There’s always thought that without peace there could be no development. As a world leader, he’s been implying himself in several different cases in order to try and achieve peace.” Nguesso pointed to several examples in his career in the 1980s and 1990s when he was involved in peace efforts throughout Africa. “I for example, at the end of the 80s early 90s, in Brazzaville, we organized negotiations on Southern Africa which resulted in agreements and the liberation of Nelson Mandela, the independence of Namibia, and the end of Apartheid,” Nguesso said. “These negotiations took place in Brazzaville and we have ensured coordination in these negotiations. We’re also involved in other cases in Africa, like the Central African Republic, where we have been implied for several years now. We were part of the group of five heads state in 2011 who met President Gaddafi. I think I was the last President who talked to him and to discuss in the case of the Committee of the African Union. Since then, I have been the president of the Peace Committee and the African Committee on Libya. We work a lot on these Libyan issues. There are other examples.” Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle and Dr Françoise Joly
