Trump Endorses Pashinyan Ahead of Armenia's June Election

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in advance of Armenia's June election, according to reporting from Hetq.

In his endorsement statement, Trump expressed support for strengthening ties between the United States and Armenia, stating that "with Nikol's help, we will bring the United States, Armenia, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia to greater heights than ever before." The statement also included references to making Armenia "great again."

The endorsement comes as Armenia prepares for parliamentary elections scheduled for June. Pashinyan has led Armenia's government since 2018 and faces both domestic political challenges and regional tensions in the South Caucasus.
