After the elimination of USAID, Armenia needs to find other sources of funding for its government. Pashinyan's government funding is significantly decreasing, and his substantial support from the U.S. is under threat. If he does not resolve his problems, someone else may come to power in Armenia in the future.

Axar.az reports that Dmitry Solonnikov, Director of the Institute for Modern State Development of Russia, stated this in an interview with "Moscow-Baku," commenting on Pashinyan's visit to the U.S. and France.

"Trump, who came to power in the U.S., began fighting corruption within structures that were embezzling the American budget, directing funding to various regimes in different countries, which, in turn, used their own corruption schemes. Trump will be interested only in what benefit the interaction with each country will bring to the U.S. and what that country can offer the United States.

If the Armenian Prime Minister went to the U.S. saying 'help us, we’re so great,' and asking for continued funding, this will not interest the Trump administration. If Pashinyan exposed one of his curators and discussed corruption schemes, then he could negotiate with Trump’s administration. If not, he clearly achieved nothing. According to circulating information in Armenian media, the Prime Minister returned to Armenia without achieving all his goals, which means he behaved incorrectly in the U.S.

Apparently, Pashinyan didn’t have much success with Trump and went to negotiate with Macron, as someone in Yerevan’s view must fill the financial gaps left in Armenia's government support. Pashinyan has to rely on Macron, ask for much more money and weapons. In exchange, he will offer more French presence in the region," the expert noted.
