Nazarbayev’s stance in favor of nuclear nonproliferation was just one of the reasons we hosted him. Kazakhstan is a leader in nonproliferation after it gave up its nuclear, Soviet-inherited weapons. After the Cold War, US interest in Central Asia was restricted to Afghanistan.

Trump’s South Asia strategy needed Pakistan to be separated from. This is why the US required Kazakhstan as an alternate back-door shipping channel for Afghanistan.
