Uzbekistan and the United States have signed strategic agreements worth more than hundred billion dollars, with agreements including relaxed visa rules for citizens of both countries.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced the landmark package of trade and investment agreements at the C5+1 summit in Washington.

The deals are expected to roll out over the next decade, marking a new phase in U.S.–Uzbekistan economic cooperation.

President Trump shared on his social media Truthsocial, that Uzbekistan would invest almost $35 billion in the United States within the next three years and over $100 billion over the next decade across sectors such as energy, aviation, automotive parts, infrastructure, agriculture and information technology.

"We look forward to a long and productive relationship between our Countries!" he said.

The agreements are expected to be funded by the Export-Import Bank of the United States and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation.

Several U.S. logistics and IT firms will open offices in IT Park Uzbekistan, providing outsourcing, dispatching and recruitment services, while creating hundreds of new jobs and training opportunities for local specialists.

Trade policy and visa facilitation

Talks in Washington also touched on the Jackson–Vanik Amendment, a Cold War-era U.S. trade restriction. American legislators described it as “a relic of the past”, signalling readiness for its repeal.

Uzbekistan will introduce visa-free travel for U.S. citizens from 2026, while proposing ten-year multiple-entry visas for its nationals.

Analysts say the announcements mark a shift from diplomatic engagement to substantive economic partnership.

Uzbekistan gains greater access to global investment and markets, while the United States strengthens its foothold in Central Asia’s fast-growing economy and critical mineral supply chain.
