Trump clinches Armenia-Azerbaijan deal — along with some personal branding and more Nobel Peace Price talk

President Donald Trump hosted the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House on Friday, where they finalized a peace agreement that would grant the United States exclusive development access to a critical transit corridor in the South Caucasus, which will be named after Trump.

The deal is aimed at quelling long-simmering tensions between the two nations, while opening up the region for greater economic development — including through granting the US long-term, exclusive rights to carve a new transportation route through Armenian territory.

And in a concession sure to delight Trump, who has sought to brand himself in his first six months in office as a global peacemaker, the corridor will be called the TRIPP — the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.

The project will operate under Armenian legal jurisdiction, and the United States will in turn lease the land to a consortium responsible for construction and management, according to a senior administration official.

I guess the Great One is too important to stand up. I also notice that during the Trump Hour in the Oval office most of the time the Great One sits at his desk with his minions standing all around.

The peace talks to open this trade corridor between Armenia and Azerbaijan was discussed last year prior to Trump stealing the election. The fact that the Trump branding was plastered over the project to attempt to get a Nobel Peace prize is a crock of crap.
