Trump Brokers ‘Historic’ Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Deal

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed to permanently end decades of conflict, signing a peace declaration at the White House. The deal includes restoring diplomatic, trade, and travel ties, lifting U.S. restrictions on military cooperation with Azerbaijan, and creating a “Trump Route” corridor linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave—developed by the U.S. The agreement follows Azerbaijan’s 2023 recapture of Karabakh and could mark a major geopolitical shift in the South Caucasus, with Trump and both leaders even suggesting a joint Nobel Peace Prize bid.
