"On August 8, 2025, President Trump brokered a historic peace between  Armenia and Azerbaijan, unveiling the Trump Route for International  Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) as part of the Armenia Crossroads of  Peace project. This key initiative opens new pathways for  communication, trade, and connectivity, fostering stability, growth,  and prosperity across the South Caucasus and beyond, into Central  Asia and Europe. Vice President Vance's February 2026 visit advanced  TRIPP's implementation and agreements on AI, semiconductors, energy,  defense, and capacity building, unveiling multi-billion-dollar  projects in AI and nuclear energy. As Armenia rapidly emerges as a  regional AI hub and key US partner, TRIPP positions the region at the  forefront of economic prosperity, innovation, and unprecedented  opportunity."
