The US is confident that it has bought the loyalty of Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is a friend of the United States, although it has the longest border with Russia.
Thomas Dance, a visiting foreign policy specialist at the American Heritage Foundation, made this statement at a forum on security in the Black Sea and the Balkans in Romania, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" Today, the US's interest in Kazakhstan is worth $78 billion. We are the largest investor . The Netherlands and the UK have slightly less, but they are also significant investors. We are four times larger than the Russians and three times larger than the Chinese . Our energy investments in Kazakhstan are among the largest in the world for our companies, Exxon and Chevron," said Dance.
According to his data, the US exports 1,4 million barrels of oil from Kazakhstan daily. And the fact that this happens through Novorossiysk doesn't change the situation.
The US is confident it has bought Kazakhstan's loyalty.
