During his visit to Armenia, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance facilitated an agreement between the U.S. and Armenia regarding nuclear power cooperation, with an aim to diversify the former Soviet republic away from Russian energy influence.
Signed with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the agreement allows the U.S. to legally license nuclear technology and equipment to Armenia and opens the door for $5 billion of initial U.S. exports to Armenia and an additional $4 billion for ongoing fuel and maintenance contracts.
