In a landmark visit, Vice President JD Vance becomes the first sitting US president or vice president to travel to Armenia, a move aimed at fostering peace and strategic cooperation in the region. During his visit, Vance signed a substantial nuclear agreement with Armenia, as the US seeks to strengthen its ties with the former ally of Russia amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. However, his trip was marred by controversy after he acknowledged the Armenian genocide in a social media post that was subsequently deleted, igniting significant backlash. Despite the gaffe, Vance is also set to engage in talks in Azerbaijan to promote stability and a proposed peace corridor in the South Caucasus.
