Trump to Host Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Summit at White House

U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced that he will host a historic peace summit at the White House on Friday, bringing together the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, and the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, for a formal signing ceremony aimed at ending years of conflict between the two nations.

In a post on his social media platform, Trump called the summit a «Historic Peace Summit,» declaring that both leaders have agreed to meet in Washington to finalize a peace agreement. The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has spanned decades, with periodic outbreaks of violence, most notably over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, causing the deaths of thousands.

«Many Leaders have tried to end the War, with no success, until now, thanks to ‘TRUMP,’» the former president wrote, emphasising his administration’s long-standing engagement with both sides.

According to Trump, the summit will also include the signing of bilateral economic agreements between the United States and each of the two countries. These pacts aim to boost regional development and cooperation in the South Caucasus, a region long overshadowed by geopolitical tensions.

«I am very proud of these courageous Leaders for doing the right thing for the Great People of Armenia and Azerbaijan,» Trump said, adding that the day would be «historic» not just for the nations involved, but for the world.

If successful, the agreement would mark a major diplomatic breakthrough and a rare moment of reconciliation in a region where previous ceasefires have repeatedly collapsed. Neither the Armenian nor Azerbaijani governments have officially confirmed the agenda of the summit, though sources close to both administrations have hinted at recent progress in behind-the-scenes negotiations.
