Overview

• During an Aug. 20 call-in to The Mark Levin Show, Trump mispronounced Azerbaijan and said Albania when referring to Armenia as he described his Caucasus diplomacy.
• He repeated his unsupported claim that he has "settled six wars," at times suggesting a seventh, a line he has used in recent media appearances.
• Earlier this month, Trump hosted Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev and Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan at the White House, where the sides agreed to a peace deal moving the long dispute toward resolution.
• The Independent reports the agreement includes a joint declaration, a request to dissolve the OSCE Minsk Group, and U.S. development rights over a Nakhchivan–southern Armenia transit route dubbed the "Trump Route."
• Media coverage notes the dispute centers on Nagorno-Karabakh, which Azerbaijan brought back under its control in 2023 after decades of conflict.
