U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance's visit to Armenia in February 2026 focused on advancing trade agreements following the August 2025 peace deal mediated by President Trump.

This deal introduced the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), which aims to enhance trade and connectivity in the region. The U.S. Department of Commerce plans to support investment and trade opportunities as Armenia emerges as a regional hub for artificial intelligence. A civil nuclear energy agreement was also finalized, allowing for up to $5 billion in initial U.S. exports and an additional $4 billion in support.
