U.S. President Donald Trump is set to host Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the White House, where the two leaders will sign a peace agreement, Reuters reported, citing two unnamed sources.
According to officials, a key part of the document grants the United States exclusive rights to develop a transit corridor through Armenian territory for a prolonged period, although the specific duration is not disclosed. The corridor will be named the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity,” abbreviated as TRIPP.
The report states that “the corridor will operate under Armenian law”, while the U.S. will sublease the territory to a consortium for infrastructure and management purposes.
“This move will open the region commercially and help prevent future military escalations,” one official said.
Aliyev and Pashinyan will also sign a document formally dissolving the OSCE Minsk Group, a mediation initiative established in 1992 by France, Russia, and the United States.
According to Reuters, progress on the Armenian-Azerbaijani issue began in March, when U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff visited the region.
Alex Raufoglu, a Washington-based journalist covering South Caucasus affairs, published on X a list of documents that are reportedly scheduled to be signed by the leaders of the U.S., Armenia, and Azerbaijan. These include a joint declaration, a preliminary peace agreement, a letter on leaving the OSCE Minsk Group, and bilateral memoranda with the United States.
