Azerbaijan is of great importance to the US, including for ensuring Europe's energy security. Azerbaijan-US relations under President Donald Trump will gradually improve, Fuad Huseynaliyev, director of EDnews said in the Chronicle of Western Azerbaijan project release.
He commented on Trump's main theses, as well as his position and further plans regarding the situation in the South Caucasus.
"I think that, in principle, Trump is interested in the situation in the South Caucasus. We have already seen how President Ilham Aliyev held talks with him after his election, even before the inauguration. So I think that relations between Azerbaijan and the US will slowly improve," noted the agency director.
Speaking about the crisis in Azerbaijan-US relations that developed under former President Joe Biden, Huseynaliyev emphasized the bias of his administration towards the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.
"When we see that a mediator clearly supports one side, and supports it not objectively, we don't need such a mediator. Moreover, as you know, in April 2024, an agreement was concluded between Armenia, the EU, and the US on further arming Armenia and so on. That is, the Americans were involved in this process too. Media also reported that American weapons are now being delivered to Armenia. All these factors that the Biden administration promoted effectively nullified their position in Azerbaijan. Trump is much more pragmatic in this regard. He bases his decisions primarily on US interests," he emphasized.
According to the agency director, Azerbaijan plans to become one of the most significant players in the alternative energy market, which is also of great importance for both the US and Europe.
"Now we are actively promoting green energy in our country. Not only are we promoting it, but we also plan to export our green energy to Europe, creating prerequisites for improving the energy supply issue in this region. I think that Trump will eventually become very familiar with all these issues and radically change US policy in the region. He will approach relationships with regional countries within his pragmatism and mutually beneficial cooperation that will be interesting for both the US and Azerbaijan," Huseynaliyev added.
