The United States struck various deals with a number of Central Asian countries on Thursday, worth more than $5 billion, in what seems to be an initiative to counter Chinese and Russian influence, as journalist Alex Raufoglu reported. They are expected to be signed later today as US President Donald Trump hosts the leaders of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
Among the agreements are: Air Astana, Somon Air, Uzbekistan Airways, all partnering with the Boeing Company to acquire jets; Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) between Nvidia Corporation, MDIDO, and Freedom Holding Corporation on advanced AI semiconductors; agricultural machinery deal with Kazakhstan; rail construction and engineering deal with Kyrgyzstan; cotton harvesting equipment deal with Uzbekistan; and others.
