Trump-Backed Caucasus Trade Corridor Delayed to 2027
Source Summary
Construction on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), a trade corridor central to the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace agreement signed in August 2025, will not begin until 2027, according to Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov. The project was originally expected to start construction by the end of 2026.
