The "Trump Route", TRIPP, is a transport corridor project between Azerbaijan and its exclave, the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, through the territory of Armenia. The project was created with the mediation and exclusive rights of the USA for 99 years.

Previously, the National Assembly approved the ratification of the strategic infrastructure and transit agreement signed between Armenia and the USA with 63 votes in favor, 32 against, and 0 abstentions.

The head of the opposition faction "Armenia", Anna Grigoryan, in particular, stated that the implementation of the project allows the USA and Azerbaijan to achieve long-standing strategic goals, which cannot be said about Armenia.
