Vice President JD Vance has announced a visit to Armenia and Azerbaijan to advance the implementation of a peace and transit agreement brokered by the United States. This mission, occurring today on February 9, 2026, aims to reaffirm the commitment to the deal signed six months ago at the White House by leaders from both nations. The trip is notable as the first time a sitting vice president from the American government has traveled to the country in the South Caucasus, coming half a year after the initial accord was reached.
