"This is a road that's being carved and goes through some of the most important places anywhere in the world, some of the most important places economically also anywhere in the world, which will boost commercial activity on the other side of the Caspian Sea, helping nations throughout Central Asia," Donald Trump said.
He expressed optimism that the agreement would bring tangible benefits to the region.
