"The MoU for our strategic partnership that was signed by President Trump and President Aliyev in August is also a huge opportunity to take our relationship forward, especially in the economic realm. Since August 8th, we've been actively identifying and developing new opportunities to collaborate on things like AI, digital infrastructure, security, and counterterrorism. And it's really exciting, I think, for both of our countries to see these new opportunities. As evidence of our forward momentum and the cooperation, we've seen a large number of visits on both sides," Amy Carlon, chargé d’affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan, told Azerbaijan’s state news agency AZERTAC.

"The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, or the TRIPP, is a revolutionary project that few people thought was possible before August 8th... So we believe that the TRIPP has the potential to really supercharge regional connectivity and help Azerbaijan to fulfil its vision of becoming a hub for this region and really enable improved transit between Central Asia and Western European countries," Carlon added.
