President Trump Brokers White House Today, President Donald J.
Trump hosted Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister
Nikol Pashinyan at the White House, where the two leaders signed a
historic joint declaration for peace after decades of bitter conflict and
scores of lives lost — a landmark achievement for international diplomacy that
only President Trump could deliver.
The two leaders also signed
bilateral economic agreements with the U.S., unlocking the great potential of
the South Caucasus region in trade, transit, energy, infrastructure, and
technology, and creating new opportunities for the American people and American
businesses. “For more than 35 years,
Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a bitter conflict that resulted in
tremendous suffering for both nations… Many tried to find a resolution… and
they were unsuccessful. With this Accord, we’ve finally succeeded in making
peace,” said
President Trump. “It’s a day which will be
remembered by the people of Azerbaijan with a feeling of pride and gratitude to
President Trump… Within several months, he managed to put an end to conflicts
in Asia, in Africa, and now in South Caucasus — what we could not achieve for
more than 30 years… We will turn the page of standoff, confrontation, and
bloodshed, and provide a bright and safe future for our children,” said
President Aliyev. “Today, we have reached a
significant milestone in Armenian and Azerbaijani relations. We are laying a
foundation to write a better story than the one we had in the past. This
breakthrough would simply not have been possible without President Trump’s personal
engagement and his resolute commitment to peace,” said
Prime Minister Pashinyan. President Trump is the
President of Peace. As President, he has brokered peace
between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Cambodia
and Thailand, Israel
and Iran, Rwanda
and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India
and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia, Serbia
and Kosovo, and with the Abraham Accords. President Trump is proving
that nations across the globe can move beyond longstanding conflicts of the
past toward a shared future of peace, prosperity, and success.
