US Official: US continues to push forward "Trump Route"

ArmInfo.  The US continues to actively promote the "Trump Route for International  Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP) initiative following the historic peace  summit attended by President Donald Trump, which marked the beginning  of a rapprochement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as stated by  Trump's Special Envoy for South and Central Asia, Sergio Gor, during  the B5+1  Forum in Bishkek.

According to him, the new transport corridor is designed to ensure  uninterrupted communication from Central Asian countries through the  South Caucasus with access to Western markets. Gore emphasized that  the implementation of TRIPP will be an important step toward creating  interconnected economies and maintaining sustainable peace in the  region. The special envoy also noted that the Trump administration  views Central Asia as a region of strategic importance, approaching  it differently than previous US administrations. To support this, he  pointed to the unprecedented scale of the American business presence:   according to him, the US delegation participating in the forum is the  largest commercial mission ever to visit Central Asia, as reported by  Milval.az.
