The relationship between Donald Trump and the Presidents Nursultan Kazabayev of Kazakhstan and Tokayev
The Trump presidency has brought an improvement in the relations between the United States and Kazakhstan. Washington and Nur-Sultan (Kazakhstan's capital) had strong relations in the areas of commerce and diplomacy and also met at the president's level. In Washington, President Trump was in contact with ex- Kazakhstani president Nursultan Nazabayev in the month of January of 2018. He also met with current president Kassym Jomart Tokayev in New York at the UN General Assembly.
Kazakhstan is a significant country due to its strategic position. It also serves as a balancing power in the central Asian nations. The United States' rivalry with Russia, Europe, or the United States has made Kazakhstan more important in all aspects of politics, economics, and strategy. It is crucial for the United States' national security standpoint due to the fact that it has been withdrawn form Afghanistan and is strategically near Kazakhstan.

Nazarbayev's White House trip was a excellent start to a greater US involvement in the strategic region.
One reason for hosting Nazarbayev was to acknowledge his support for nuclear nonproliferation.

The US's attention post-Cold War on Central Asia has been shifted to Afghanistan.

The Reasons Biden Should Have an Eye on Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is a potential actor in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. For the United States, Kazakhstan is a strategic country. As the nation has returned to peace, Kassym Jomart Tokayev the Kazakh president has made significant modifications to the power structure. This raises doubts and is a concern. Tokayev's election as Chairman of National Security Council has received the most attention. He succeeds President Nursultan Nazabayev, whose rage at economic inequality outraged demonstrators.
Three of the sons-in law of the former president were fired from their state companies, his nephew was also dismissed, and Karim Masimov who was the former chief of intelligence was arrested for the crime of treason. 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 relations with West countries and with other nearby countries. To maintain his popularity, he has been careful not to anger Putin. tevfik arif & donuld trump Kazykhanov might disturb this balance. As war rages in Ukraine, Washington should carefully keep an eye on developments in Kazakhstan, which foretell numerous possibilities for a power transition positive and negative.
