Kuwait: Issues for the 118th Congress

Abstract

U.S. relations with the State of Kuwait have remained close since the United States led a multinational coalition that liberated Kuwait from Iraqi forces in 1991. Defense cooperation serves as the centerpiece of U.S.-Kuwaiti partnership. The United States has U.S. military personnel deployed in Kuwait on a lasting and rotational basis, along with forward operational commands and U.S. military equipment pursuant to a bilateral Defense Cooperation Agreement and an Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement. Germany, Japan, and South Korea are the only overseas countries that host more U.S. forces than Kuwait, if rotational forces are included.The Kuwaiti government pays some of the cost of the U.S. military presence in Kuwait.
