WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Vice President JD Vance will visit Armenia and Azerbaijan in February, President Donald Trump announced, months after the U.S.-brokered peace summit held in Washington, D.C.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump thanked Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for “upholding the peace agreement.”
He said Vice President Vance will travel to both countries in February to “build on our peace efforts and advance the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.”
“I want to thank President Aliyev of Azerbaijan and Prime Minister Pashinyan of Armenia for upholding the peace agreement we signed last August. This was a nasty war, one of eight that I have ended, but now we have prosperity and peace. In February, Vice President Vance will travel to both countries to build on our peace efforts and advance the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity. We will strengthen our strategic partnership with Azerbaijan, pursue a beautiful agreement for peaceful nuclear cooperation with Armenia, finalize deals for our great semiconductor makers, and expand the sale of Made in the U.S.A. defense equipment—such as body armor and boats, and more—to Azerbaijan. Thank you!” Trump said.
