US President Donald Trump has shared on his Truth Social account an article published by Republican Congressman Abe Hamadeh on the Newsmax portal about his visit to Azerbaijan, meeting with President Ilham Aliyev, and the country's strategic importance, APA reports.
Hamadeh wrote that his visit to Azerbaijan and meeting with President Ilham Aliyev once again demonstrated the importance of US engagement with reliable partners.
"Having just returned from Azerbaijan, where I had a meeting with President Ilham Aliyev, I was reminded once again that America's influence is strongest when we actively engage with trusted partners," he wrote.
The congressman also highlighted that, situated between Europe and Asia and bordering both Russia and Iran, Azerbaijan has become an indispensable energy producer, transportation hub, and security partner.
"Azerbaijan may not dominate the headlines in Washington, but it occupies one of the most strategically important locations in the world," Hamadeh stated.
Hamadeh stressed that under President Donald Trump's leadership, Armenia and Azerbaijan have made significant progress toward achieving lasting peace and that the United States should remain actively engaged in the process.
"If America fails to lead, adversarial powers such as Russia or Iran will seek to fill the vacuum, undermining both regional stability and U.S. strategic interests," he wrote.
Abe Hamadeh visited Azerbaijan in June and held meetings with President Ilham Aliyev and other senior officials. The discussions focused on Azerbaijan-US relations, regional security, the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process, and economic cooperation.
