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.
