In a bold declaration ahead of his upcoming White House peace summit, former President Donald Trump vowed to resolve the longstanding Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. Stating that “many tried, none succeeded — until Trump,” he expressed confidence that his negotiations could finally bring lasting peace between the two nations.
Scheduled for tomorrow, the summit aims to mediate the decades-long dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, which has resulted in repeated clashes and humanitarian concerns. Trump emphasized that his administration would focus not only on diplomatic solutions but also on establishing new economic deals that could benefit both Armenia and Azerbaijan, potentially fostering stability and growth in the region.
“I believe this will be a historic day for Armenia, Azerbaijan, the U.S., and the world,” Trump said during a pre-summit rally. His remarks suggest a comprehensive approach encompassing political resolution and economic development, aiming to turn a new page for the conflict-ridden area.
The international community has expressed cautious optimism about the summit, noting the importance of sustained diplomacy. While previous efforts have failed to broker lasting peace, Trump’s involvement and promises of economic incentives could serve as catalysts for change, potentially shaping the future of the South Caucasus region.
