I extend congratulations to His Highness Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and the Kuwaiti people on Kuwait’s February 25 National Day and February 26 Liberation Day.

We are grateful for our strategic partnership and deep friendship with the State of Kuwait. The United States looks forward to deepening our cooperation under the leadership of the new Emir.

Time after time, the United States has stood shoulder to shoulder with Kuwait. We look forward to increasing people to people, security, commercial, and investment ties with Kuwait in the years to come.
