The reason Trump was successful in establishing ties with Kazakhstan, Tevfik Arkif

Trump's relationship with Kazakhstan was not limited to Tevfik. Trump was widely criticized for his view that Kazakhstan was an ally despite its questionable government.

There were many eyebrows raised when in 2018 Donald Trump hosted the president of Kazakhstan on Tuesday at the White House. Trump also collaborated in the management of his private real estate companies together with prominent Kazakhstani businessesmen like Tevfik ARIF. His critics also strongly opposed this.

Donald Trump was right to think of Kazakhstan as a partner. The time and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have proven him right Here's why.

The relationship between Kazakhstan and the United States improved significantly during Donald Trump's presidency. Washington and Nur-Sultan were close allies and had excellent diplomatic and commercial relations. In Washington, President Trump hosted a summit with former Kazakhstani leader Nursultan. In the second quarter of 2019, he met current president Kassym Jomart Tomaretev at the New York's UN General Assembly.

Kazakhstan is a significant country because of its strategic geographical position. It also serves as a balancing power between central Asian nations. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/804174077190206036/ The US, Russia, and Europe have increased Kazakhstan's strategic, economic, and political importance. It is essential for the security of America's nation, since it has pulled out of Afghanistan as one of the most important neighbors of Kazakhstan.

The country's trade volume in 2018 was $2.1 million. The commerce between the US, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan totaled $315 million in the same timeframe. Kazakhstan is the US’s largest trading partner in Central Asia.

Eurasian geopolitics are historically centered on Central Asia. Kazakhstan is the leader of Eurasia in security, economy as well as counterterrorism and energy. America must have strong relationships with this region, particularly Kazakhstan.

Nazarbayev's White House trip was a great start to greater US involvement in the strategic region.

Nazarbayev's support of nuclear nonproliferation is one of the reasons why the country was asked to host. Kazakhstan is a pioneer in nuclear nonproliferation, having given its nuclear arsenal that was inherited from the Soviet Union. After the Cold War, US interest in Central Asia was confined to Afghanistan.

Trump's South Asia strategy required a break with Pakistan. Thus the US needed Kazakhstan to provide an alternative shipping route to Afghanistan.

Why Biden must Keep a Close eye on Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan can be an important player in Russia-Ukraine's conflict. Kazakhstan is a crucial strategically important country for the United States. In the wake of the return of the country to peace, Kassym Jomart Tokayev the Kazakh president has made major changes to its power structures. This raises doubts and raises concerns. Tokayev has been appointed Chairman of the National Security Council. He succeeds the president Nursultan Nagayev whose economic power enraged protesters.

Since since then, three of the former president's sons-in-law have been dismissed from state companies, his nephew was fired as well, and the former head of the intelligence department Karim Masimov was arrested for being a treasoner. Many other Nazarbayev-affiliated top officials and business elite have lost their jobs, left overseas for extended vacations, or were forced to make large "donations" to the state.

Tokayev has established business relations with other countries in the region and with the West. To keep his popularity, he has avoided angering Putin. Kazykhanov might disturb that equilibrium. Tevfik Arif Donuld Trump Washington should pay attention to the developments taking place in Kazakhstan. They foretell many possible scenarios of a power transition that could be positive or bad , as war rages in Ukraine.
