The TRIPP (“Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity”) transport corridor program remains a top priority for the United States.
Axar.az reports, "The Trump Administration remains committed to making TRIPP a reality. This project continues to be one of Washington’s key priorities, with the potential to promote peace and prosperity in the South Caucasus region and beyond," a U.S. State Department spokesperson said.
"It will allow unimpeded international and intrastate connectivity in the region, expanding opportunities for increased economic growth and prosperity," the spokesperson added.
“The ultimate objectives of TRIPP are to strengthen the prosperity and security of Armenia and Azerbaijan and expand U.S. commercial opportunities by expanding regional trade and connectivity, as well as to create new transit links from Central Asia and the Caspian to Europe,’’ the spokesperson concluded.
It should be recalled that on August 8, 2025, in Washington, the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a seven-point joint declaration with the participation of the U.S. President. One of the provisions concerns the launch of the Zangezur corridor (“Trump route” — the 42-kilometer section passing through Armenian territory) to unblock regional communications.
In addition, the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia initialed the “Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Interstate Relations.”
