US President Donald Trump expressed "full and absolute" support for Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his Truth Social platform ahead of key parliamentary elections scheduled for June 7, 2026. Trump wrote that "Nikol fully shares my vision of peace and prosperity for Armenia." The political endorsement came one day after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Armenia during his return from a multi-day tour of India. Armenia, a former Soviet republic in the South Caucasus, has been navigating complex geopolitical relationships between Russia, the West, and regional neighbors including Azerbaijan and Turkey.
