Congress against Trump: what will happen to TRIPP? The victory of the Democratic Party in the mid-term elections for the US Congress raised the question of the fate of the Trump Track (TRIPP) in Armenia. Formally, the project is based on the already ratified Armenian-American framework agreement, but its implementation is still politically vulnerable. As the Harpark newspaper reported, the Armenian authorities fear that the weakening of Donald Trump's position after the democratic victory will lead to the amendment or even the cancellation of the TRIPP agreements. According to the publication, after the elections the deputies of the governing party Civil Contract met with the American Secretary of Affairs David Allen to find out what to expect for the next project. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said that he sees no reason why the Democrats would refuse to implement the TRIPP. At the same time, the new majority in Congress is able to reconsider budget priorities, strengthen control of the administration and slow down individual initiatives. Especially those that are seen as Trump's personal project. The president's big donor, charged with implementing TRIPP, is under additional pressure in this situation. It is unlikely that the Democrats will sabotage the construction of the corridor through Armenia. But the project, already stalled by geopolitical uncertainty in the region - mainly because of the war with Iran - risks facing new obstacles amid the redistribution of political resources in Washington. And that, as usual, takes time and money. Duty Officer for Transcaucasia.
