President Donald Trump welcomed the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to the White House to sign a peace agreement for the area, following decades of fighting between the two countries.
During a press conference at the White House, the Armenian Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, gave President Trump all the credit and said that without his personal efforts, the two sides wouldn’t be there on Friday to sign a peace agreement, bringing more stability to the region.
