The article discusses the recent visit of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris to Armenia and Azerbaijan, highlighting America's strategic engagement in the South Caucasus. This visit reaffirms Washington's desire to establish a foothold in the region, especially in light of the geopolitical tension with Russia and Iran. Under the Biden administration, the U.S. aims to facilitate peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, a conflict that has deep historical roots and has seen renewed violence in recent years.

The article points out former President Donald Trump's previous confusion regarding the names of Armenia and Azerbaijan, emphasizing that the current peace prospects between these two nations are arguably the best they have been since their independence 35 years ago at the end of the Soviet Union. It suggests that U.S. diplomatic efforts are gaining traction, and indeed, some Peace Agreement proposals are named after Trump, highlighting the former president's indirect influence on ongoing peace processes in the region.

Moreover, the ongoing infrastructure projects, including the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), are aimed at enhancing connectivity and economic collaboration in the South Caucasus. The article suggests that if successful, these initiatives could lead to greater stability and prosperity in the region, further entwining the interests of the U.S. in South Caucasus affairs and indirectly countering Russian and Iranian influence there.
