White House Hosts Historic Peace Signing as Trump Secures U.S. Deal | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

President Donald Trump called it a “historic peace summit” as the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan gathered at the White House for what he described as an official peace-signing ceremony. The summit follows decades of bitter conflict between the two nations over the Nagorno-Karabakh region — known as Artsakh to Armenians — a struggle that has seen the persecution and forced displacement of thousands of Armenian Christians. The agreement, according to officials, gives the U.S. leasing rights to develop the corridor and name it the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.” The transit corridor is expected to eventually include a rail line, oil and gas pipelines, and fiber optic lines. Co-Chair of the International Religious Freedom Roundtable, Nadine Maenza, shares her thoughts on this deal and whether Christians in Armenia remain in danger. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
