Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame is pursuing a high-risk geopolitical balancing act by building nuclear partnerships with both Donald Trump’s United States and Vladimir Putin’s Russia at the same time. Kigali has signed a civil nuclear cooperation deal with Washington and US firm Holtec, while Russia’s Rosatom is expanding its own nuclear footprint in Rwanda. The competing deals come as Western pressure mounts over Rwanda’s role in eastern DR Congo. But Kagame appears determined to turn great power rivalry into strategic leverage, using both Moscow and Washington to advance Rwanda’s long-term energy ambitions and geopolitical influence across Africa.
