Trump wrote today (Beijing Time November 7): "I am very pleased to announce that the United States has reached a significant trade and economic agreement with Uzbekistan. In the next three years, Uzbekistan will purchase and invest nearly $35 billion in key areas in the United States, including critical minerals, aviation, auto parts, infrastructure, agriculture, energy chemicals, and information technology; over the next ten years, the investment will exceed $100 billion. I would like to thank the respected President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. We look forward to building a long-term and productive relationship between the two countries!"
[Sarcastic] Comment: Trump loudly announced the so-called "major agreement" between the US and Uzbekistan, claiming that Uzbekistan will purchase and invest nearly $35 billion in the next three years and over $100 billion in the next ten years. Such bold statements sound astonishing, but they are actually full of exaggerations. It should be noted that Uzbekistan's GDP in 2024 is only $115 billion. Such a large investment commitment far exceeds its economic scale, which is absurd. It's like Japan promising to purchase and invest $1.2 trillion in the US in three years and $3.5 trillion in the next ten years. Many countries know that Trump likes to boast and thus put forward exaggerated investment commitments to please him. However, such data that is detached from reality is difficult to fulfill. It is nothing more than political showmanship and empty promises. The "economic drama" between the US and Uzbekistan, let's see how it ends.
