On August 8, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the White House for a historic trilateral summit, marking the first such meeting between the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the U.S. since the Soviet Union’s collapse. The summit resulted in the signing of a joint declaration and the initialing of a draft peace agreement titled “Agreement on Establishment of Peace and Inter-State Relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia” by the foreign ministers of both countries, witnessed by Trump, Aliyev, and Pashinyan.

A major component was the agreement to establish a transit route, dubbed the “Trump Route,” through Armenia’s Syunik province, connecting mainland Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan. This route, often referred to as the Zangezur Corridor, will facilitate intra-state and international transportation while respecting the sovereignty of both nations.
