U.S. President Donald Trump is set to host a summit with Central Asian leaders next week, according to confirmations from two participating countries.
The upcoming meeting is part of Washington’s renewed effort to strengthen ties and expand its influence in the resource-rich region, where major powers such as China and Russia have long competed for strategic and economic dominance.
Details of the summit’s agenda are yet to be officially disclosed, but discussions are expected to focus on regional security, trade cooperation, and energy partnerships.
The gathering underscores the United States’ growing interest in fostering closer diplomatic and economic relations with Central Asia.
