U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance is in Baku on a working visit. During a press conference, he stated that the United States is preparing to send new patrol boats to Azerbaijan, which will help strengthen the security of territorial waters, and also spoke about the TRIPP project.
“There's a lot to announce. We could spend, I think, all day up here talking about some of the great things that are happening. We're going to ship some new boats to Azerbaijan to help you all with some of your territorial waters protection. We're proud to announce – and I believe I was one of the very first to fly along the new Trump Road for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) that will connect the two separate parts of Azerbaijan – and our hope is that that will build the kind of economic and natural resource and critical mineral cooperation that will make it possible to really make this incredible peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia stick,” Vance said.
The U.S. Vice President emphasized that where there were once conflicts, security has now been established, and that this is a vivid example of the leadership of both President Trump and President Aliyev.
“I think that partnership, the partnership of the United States and Azerbaijan, will lead to greater peace and prosperity in the region. It will lead to more access to more markets for the workers of the United States of America. And it's just going to create a much better world, where people are engaging in commerce with one another rather than fighting with one another,” he said.
The U.S. Vice President added: “Trump, Pashinyan, and Aliyev put an end to the long-standing war. The region is finally at peace. The goal of the U.S. President’s administration is the establishment of peace.”
It should be recalled that Vance traveled to Baku after completing a two-day working visit to Armenia.
