According to Azeri-Press News Agency, Herbst highlighted the importance of the U.S. involvement in the Trump Corridor, which he believes plays a crucial role in promoting peace in the South Caucasus.

Herbst further elaborated on the U.S.’s efforts in enhancing Azerbaijan’s oil production capabilities.
