«U.S. government foreign assistance to Azerbaijan has declined since 2023, from roughly $22 million to $17.8 million in 2024, and thus far stands at a mere $3.3 million in 2025. This reflects the Biden administration’s de facto implementation of the Armenian Protection Act, still under review by Congress, that seeks to repeal fully the “Freedom Support Act section 907 waiver authority with respect to assistance to Azerbaijan.” But, while the Aliyev government hopes Trump will normalize relations and restore funding, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s record as senator suggests he will not sympathize with Azerbaijan’s position absent serious reforms in Baku.» This was reported by the American conservative think tank Middle East Forum
