At a White House summit, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, flanking President Donald Trump, shook hands and signed a historic agreement to end decades of conflict.

The deal, which includes reopening key transport routes and creating a major transit corridor named the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity,” aims to boost regional connectivity and reduce Russia’s influence.

Both leaders praised Trump’s role, with Aliyev calling it a “miracle” and Pashinyan calling the agreement a “significant milestone.”

The route will connect Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenian territory, a major sticking point in past talks, NBC News has reported.

Trump expressed confidence in lasting peace and hinted at visiting the corridor, while also highlighting his growing reputation as a global peacemaker.
