"A future Trump route promises both ‘unimpeded connectivity’ for Azerbaijan and ‘full respect’ for Armenia's sovereignty. The route will be managed by a private US company... US mediation became possible because of Russia's weakened position in the South Caucasus. For years, the Kremlin worked towards re-opening the route that now bears an American president's name. And although Russia's proposal for its FSB border troops to guard the future road has been rejected, they still patrol the stretch of the Armenia‑Iran border that has been chosen for the Trump route," according to the BBC.

"Armenia's Syunik region is also a key hub for its exports, and businessmen and trucks from Iran are a familiar sight. Iranian construction companies are building a new bridge that will cross the future Tripp (Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity)... It is unclear how the US and Iranian companies will co-exist in Armenia, given recent US involvement in the Israel‑Iran war," the BBC adds.
