The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan met with President Trump on Friday and signed an agreement aimed at ending decades of conflict. Under the deal, the U.S. would be given exclusive development access to a new transit corridor through Armenia that would link Azerbaijan to an enclave sandwiched between Armenia and Turkey. The corridor will be called TRIPP, the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity. Iran criticized the U.S. plan for the transit corridor, which would run close to the Iranian border.
