00:00Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's administration has rebranded the U.S. Institute of Peace
00:05to include his own name, after seizing control of the agency and slashing its funding.
00:11The State Department says the change is meant to reflect Trump,
00:14who it calls the greatest dealmaker in the nation's history.
00:20The president's name was installed on the Washington, D.C. headquarters,
00:24ahead of a peace agreement signing ceremony between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
00:30The institute was created in 1984 by former President Ronald Reagan
00:34as an NGO funded by Congress to prevent and resolve international conflicts.
00:39Trump, who has repeatedly voiced his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize,
00:44issued an executive order in February to dismantle the institute.
00:48It had been part of a broader effort by the Department of Government Efficiency,
00:52formerly led by Elon Musk, to halt institutions that work on foreign policy.
00:56The organization's president was removed from the building by law enforcement
01:01and the administration had dismissed all Washington-based staff.
