President Donald Trump revealed Friday that Vice President JD Vance will travel to Azerbaijan and Armenia next month to bolster a peace agreement the two nations signed in Washington last August.

The trip is meant to improve U.S. ties with the region through deals on nuclear cooperation, semiconductors, and defense equipment, Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social.
