The Armenian Center for American Studies reports:

“Despite active efforts by Armenian lobbyists and congressmen in recent months, maintaining US direct assistance to Artsakh has failed. Trump’s Administration decides to reduce Demining Program in Artsakh.

The Armenian Center for American Studies has repeatedly presented the active work of the Azerbaijani authorities, including the money spent in the UN Security Council, to advance their interests. It was the US National Security Council that would determine the future of this program.

It should be noted that the US was the only state other than Armenia that provided direct financial assistance to Artsakh without recognizing its independence.”
