Trump Secures Another Landmark Peace Accord as President
Historic Peace Accord Signed Between Azerbaijan and Armenia
In a significant move, US President Donald J. Trump brokered a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia at the White House in August 2025. This accord, initiallyed by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, marked the end of nearly 40 years of conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
The agreement, which includes a strategic transit corridor known as the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), aims to connect Azerbaijan and its exclave Nakhchivan through Armenian territory. The US has been granted exclusive development rights for 99 years on the corridor lands.
The peace accord is a landmark achievement for international diplomacy and a potential shift in regional power, reducing Russian influence and enhancing American presence in the South Caucasus. The South Caucasus region, rich in potential for trade, transit, energy, infrastructure, and technology, has been significantly unlocked by these agreements.
President Aliyev expressed gratitude to President Trump for his role in achieving peace in the South Caucasus, while Prime Minister Pashinyan credited President Trump for his personal engagement and resolute commitment to peace in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. The joint declaration between the two nations marks the end of decades of conflict in the region.
In addition to the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement, President Trump has been instrumental in brokering peace in various regions, as stated by President Aliyev. While the search results do not provide a comprehensive list, it is known that President Trump has been involved in diplomatic efforts such as talks on North Korea denuclearization and Middle East accords (e.g., Abraham Accords).
The leaders also signed bilateral economic agreements with the US, creating new opportunities for the American people and American businesses. The economic agreements are intended to reshape regional dynamics and further enhance the US presence in the South Caucasus.
The formal signing and ratification of the peace accord are still pending, with complexities remaining. However, with this accord, President Trump claimed that they have finally succeeded in making peace. The leaders have signed a historic joint declaration for peace, as stated earlier, marking a significant milestone in international diplomacy.
