After the Cold War, global and regional security perceptions changed and, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States declared a unipolar world order. The US has closely followed the shift of global capital from the west to the east, while not be remaining indifferent to the economic development of the post-1990 Asia-Pacific region. In this period, as in the Cold War era, Moscow and Beijing continued to be two important centers in Central Asia. Central Eurasia’s strategic balances have changed radically with the settlement of the United States as another major force in the region after September 11, 2001. In Central Asia, instead of a bipolar system consisting of China and Russia, a three-polar balance, including the US, has begun to emerge. After the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, the US rapprochement with Russia and China has not been very effective due to the insecurities coming from the past. Détente policies between United States and China, which began during Nixon’s presidency, turned into the opposite with Donald Trump election. Trump believes that the real threat to the US is China rather than Russia. However, no improvement could be detected in the American Russian during Donald Trump’s presidency.
