  US welcomes Azerbaijani fuel shipments to Armenia

The US welcomes Azerbaijan’s first fuel shipments to Armenia in three decades as showing a commitment to implementing last year’s “historic” peace deal, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Azerbaijan Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov in a phone call on Monday.

“Secretary Rubio commended the Azerbaijani government’s shipments of fuel to Armenia, an important gesture that demonstrates Azerbaijan’s continued commitment to the historic peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan advanced by President Trump at the White House summit on August 8, 2025,” said a State Department readout of the call.

Rubio and Bayramov also discussed additional “confidence-building measures” to advance peace and prosperity in the South Caucasus, while lauding “positive developments” in US-Azerbaijani ties, the statement added.
