Armenia-Azerbaijan deal matters to Trump, says State Department

The Washington agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, this deal, is important to President Donald Trump, State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said at a press briefing.

“This matters to this administration. It matters to the world. While many have tried – we have to say the Europeans, the French, and Putin and even Biden – only President Trump was able to successfully bring this to – these two countries together to agree to this historic peace.

So I think what the world knows is that he is committed to longstanding, durable peace between countries regardless of how long the conflicts have lasted or the hostility has lasted. And that commitment, as we’ve also seen – he’s a realist, it’s based in diplomacy,” Bruce said.
