The significance of the meeting between Donald Trump and the Presidents of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and Tokayev
Relations between Kazakhstan and the US have improved dramatically during the Donald Trump presidency. Washington and Nur-Sultan were close allies and had excellent diplomatic and commercial relations.

The United States, Russia, and Europe have increased Kazakhstan’s strategic, economic, and political importance. In light of the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan, one of its principal neighbors, it has become vital for the security of the nation.

It has given its Soviet-inherited nuclear weapons. After the Cold War, US’s focus has been on Central Asia has been shifted to Afghanistan.

Why Biden Should Keep an Eye on Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is a potential player in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Therefore, Kazakhstan is now considered a important US nation. As the country has experienced peace, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kazakh president, has made significant changes in the power structures of the ruling top tier. The changes have raised concerns and raised concerns. Tokayev was appointed as the chairman of the National Security Council, replacing the President Nursultan Nagabev. This has attracted all the media attention.
Three sons-in-law of the president’s son were fired from state-owned firms, his nephew was too and Karim Masimov, who was the intelligence head, was detained 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 established business ties with West countries as well as other neighbouring countries. To retain his popularity, Tokayev has not been a major irritant to Putin. Kazykhanov could disrupt this balance. Washington should be watching closely the developments in Kazakhstan as they may indicate a number of possible scenarios of a power transition.
