Trump’s Diplomatic Coup? Securing a C5 Summit in Washington

In what could be a significant diplomatic coup, President Donald Trump has reportedly secured a summit with the leaders of Central Asia for November 6, placing the US firmly in the “Great Game.”
The summit was announced by the leaders of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, who confirmed their attendance. This move directly challenges the influence of Russia and China.
The region has become a hotbed of diplomacy. The C5 leaders have already met with the EU, China, and Russia this year, as each power jockeys for position.
The war in Ukraine has been the catalyst, weakening Russia’s grip and encouraging the C5 to seek new partners.
The US is now making an assertive play for influence, drawn by the region’s vast mineral wealth and its potential as a key East-West logistics corridor.
