During his visit to Armenia on February 9, Vice President J.D. Vance signed an agreement with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for cooperation in the civil nuclear energy sector. The “Agreement on Cooperation between the Government of the Republic of Armenia and the Government of the United States of America in the Field of Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy” will reportedly open the door to $5 billion in initial U.S. nuclear-related exports to Armenia, in addition to $4 billion worth of longer-term fuel and maintenance contracts.
