The TRIPP initiative was launched following a trilateral meeting in Washington on August 8, 2025, where US President Donald Trump, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a joint declaration on a peace settlement between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The agreement provided for the establishment of a transport corridor linking mainland Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan.
