Trump Hosts Peace Agreement Between Armenia and Azerbaijan

U.S. President Donald Trump hosted the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House on Aug. 8, who signed a peace deal, marking a potential end to 35 years of conflict between the two nations.

The two agreed to establish the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity,” a 20-mile transit corridor between the two countries that will facilitate trade and energy exports, and connect them with the rest of the region, while giving the United States exclusive rights to the area.
