US Vice President Vance heads to Armenia, Azerbaijan to push peace, trade
U.S. Vice President JD Vance aims to secure a peace treaty and promote the Trump Route transit corridor linking Azerbaijan and its exclave through Armenia.
- On Feb 9, U.S. Vice‑President JD Vance landed in Yerevan, Armenia to press a U.S.‑brokered peace agreement and will travel to Baku, Azerbaijan on February 10, the White House said.
- The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity proposes a 43‑kilometre corridor across southern Armenia, and Vice President JD Vance's trip follows a White House‑brokered agreement signed last summer.
- Under the plan, a U.S. firm holds exclusive rights to develop the corridor while Yerevan retains sovereignty, including customs, security, and border control, with rail, oil and gas lines, and fiberoptic links planned.
- Corridor plans could reroute energy and trade away from Russia and Iran, boosting U.S. commercial ties and access to critical minerals, officials say the route would transform regional energy and trade.
- But hurdles remain: leaders have not signed a peace treaty, parliaments haven't ratified it, and the displacement of around 100,000 Karabakh people underscores ongoing human impact.
