U.S. Tariffs and Central Asia: A Closer Look

Timeline U.S. Tariffs and
Central Asia

Central Asia stands at a critical crossroads as U.S. tariff policies reshape global trade, causing supply chain disruptions and rising costs. Positioned as a vital link between East and West and rich in natural resources, the region has the potential to address global supply chain gaps.

Central Asian leaders are navigating these challenges, balancing diverse trade partnerships while fostering ties with international businesses. Their focus lies on leveraging the region’s vast resources, enhancing infrastructure, and attracting foreign investment to solidify its position as a key player in global trade and supply chains. However, this requires careful diplomacy and coordinated efforts to unlock the region’s full economic potential.

Central Asian states are split—some see these programs as sovereignty infringements, while others view the U.S. as a counterbalance to regional powers. TCA analyzes the impact of these changes on civil society and explores their broader geopolitical implications for the region’s global relationships.
