Trump Route in Caucasus Can Boost Trade From China If US Allows

The recent US-brokered peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan has opened up a potential South Caucasus trade corridor that could facilitate faster trade between China and Europe. Turkey sees this as an opportunity to boost trade, but the extent to which the corridor can be utilized depends on whether the US imposes any limitations. The peace deal has ended a decades-long conflict between the two countries, allowing for the reopening of transportation links in the region. This could create a more efficient trade route, potentially reducing the time and cost of transporting goods between China and Europe. Turkey, situated at the crossroads of this potential corridor, is eager to capitalize on the opportunity to increase trade. However, the article suggests that the US might impose restrictions on the use of the corridor, which could impact the realization of Turkey's trade ambitions. The article highlights the geopolitical and economic implications of the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal, emphasizing the potential for increased trade between China and Europe if the US allows for the unhindered use of the South Caucasus corridor.
