U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has briefed President Donald Trump on the latest agreements signed with Armenia during his visit to Yerevan.
Secretary Rubio highlighted that a “great new relationship” between the U.S. and Armenia is emerging after the U.S.-brokered Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal.
“One of the places I stopped in last night was to initial the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity in Armenia. This is a key linchpin of the peace deal that you were able to achieve between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Rubio told President Trump during a Cabinet meeting.
“In addition to that we also signed a critical minerals MoU with them and a strategic engagement one as well. So, just a reminder of another war you helped to settle Mr. President. From that, we are now seeing the emergence of a great new relationship with Armenia, that really had grown stagnant for a long period of time. So we are doing well on that front as well,” Rubio added.
The U.S. Secretary of State visited Armenia on May 26 to sign several cooperation agreements — the Framework for Securing Supply in the Mining and Processing of Critical Minerals and Rare Earths, the initialing of the Framework Agreement on Strategic Cooperation concerning the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), and the Charter on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
