In May 2017, US President Donald Trump said that Washington remained strongly committed to the implementation of the Southern Gas Corridor project and welcomed Azerbaijan's role in ensuring global energy security, including the development and exportation of energy resources from the Caspian region. The project is believed to enhance the diversity of the EU’s energy supply by bringing gas from the Caspian region to Europe.
