DNI Dir. Gabbard on the Peace Deal Between Azerbaijan and Armenia: ‘A Truly Historic Day’

EXCERPT:

GABBARD: “Yeah, Will, it’s a truly historic day. And, you know, under this president’s leadership, this historic peace deal has been truly made into reality. When people actually go back and look at the history, you hit the high points there. These two countries have been in some form of conflict, sometimes very bloody, other times, a very tense situation where conflict could spark out again at any moment, for over 35 years. So, for this event to happen today, again, President Trump said in some of his remarks today that his aspiration, his greatest aspiration as president, is to bring about peace and stability. This is yet another example of his effective leadership that brought these two leaders together in a way that hasn’t happened before. And I can tell you, there was a lot of work that led to this moment. This wasn’t something that just happened overnight. Again, when you look at over 35 years of conflict, under President Trump’s leadership, he encouraged and helped move along this ongoing negotiation between these two leaders in their countries that led to this truly historic and great event.”
