U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian will sign a formal peace agreement at the White House, marking a significant diplomatic breakthrough between the two longtime adversaries.
In a post shared Thursday on his Truth Social account, Trump said he would host both leaders on Friday for what he described as a “historic peace summit.”
“Tomorrow, I look forward to welcoming Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to the White House for a historic peace summit,” Trump wrote. “They will participate in an official peace agreement signing ceremony.”
The president stated that Armenia and Azerbaijan had been at war for many years and credited his administration with halting the conflict after months of negotiation.
“I am proud of these courageous leaders for doing what is right for the great peoples of Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Trump said. “This will be a historic day for Armenia, Azerbaijan, the United States, and the world.”
He also revealed that the U.S. would be signing separate economic agreements with both countries in conjunction with the peace deal.
