Trump Endorses Pashinyan in Armenia’s June Election
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has endorsed Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ahead of Armenia's June 7, 2026 election, according to a statement reported by Hetq.
Trump stated that Pashinyan has his "complete and total endorsement" for re-election, citing potential benefits for U.S.-Armenia relations and regional development. The statement referenced bringing "the United States, Armenia, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia to greater heights."
The endorsement comes as Armenia prepares for its upcoming parliamentary elections. Trump's involvement in Armenian domestic politics marks a notable development in U.S.-Armenia relations, particularly given his platform's traditional focus on American foreign policy priorities in the region.
