Trump to host leaders of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan
Today, 13:57
US President Donald Trump will meet with the leaders of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan in Washington on November 6, Reuters reported.
The meeting comes as Trump is on a tour of Asia this week and is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday. China has been actively seeking to strengthen ties with Uzbekistan, while the Central Asian countries have traditionally been considered Russia's sphere of influence.
Last month, an Uzbek airline signed a nearly $8 billion deal with US company Boeing to purchase up to 22 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
