President Trump shared his support for Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Truth Social following a strategic partnership agreement.
“Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, of Armenia, a great friend and Leader, is making his Country strong, wealthy, and very secure! Nikol completely shares my vision of PEACE and PROSPERITY for Armenia and the entire South Caucasus region,” the statement read. “Our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, just traveled to Armenia, where he advanced several important Deals for both our Countries.”
“Soon, the United States and Armenia will break ground together on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, which will transform the South Caucasus, and help our wonderful American Energy Companies gain access from Central Asia all the way to the United States,” he wrote. “For these reasons, Nikol has my COMPLETE and TOTAL Endorsement for Re-Election on June 7, 2026. With Nikol’s help, we will bring the United States, Armenia, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia to greater heights than ever before. Make (Armenia) Great Again — MAGA!”
The statement comes as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan signed a strategic partnership agreement this week that opens access to critical minerals.
“Taking this opportunity, I wish to reaffirm that the comprehensive strategic relations between our two nations are stronger than ever,” Mirzoyan said. “It is no exaggeration to say that we have entered a historically unprecedented phase, driven by the dynamic and regular advancements on our bilateral agenda.”
The U.S. Embassy in Yerevan said in a social media statement on the event that the meeting focused on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) Framework Agreement, and featured the signing of the U.S-Armenia Strategic Partnership Charter and Critical Minerals Memorandum of Understanding. “The meeting reaffirmed the strength of U.S.-Armenia ties and our shared commitment to peace, prosperity, and regional stability,” the embassy said.
