Pashinyan: Washington will allocate large funding for 'Trump Route'

In the US, a decision has been made to create a fund to finance the initiative "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP) and other regional projects.

This was announced by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at a briefing after a government meeting.

"The United States has made a preliminary decision on financing and created a fund through which the TRIPP project and other regional projects should be financed," he said.

Pashinyan noted that he does not want to be inaccurate, so he did not name any figures, but indicated that "a large fund has been allocated."

On August 8, 2025, following a trilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a joint declaration on a peaceful settlement between Baku and Yerevan and the creation of a transport link between the main part of Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan. This project was named the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity."

On April 2, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk said in an interview with TASS that the signing of the agreement on the implementation of the "Trump Route" project "violated the regional balance in the South Caucasus."
