The gulf states influences

Among the gulf states, Kuwait is the most unabashed supporter of the policies of the United
States invasion of Iraq. It is not exaggeration to say that Kuwait exists today because of the
efforts of the U.S. military. The Kuwaiti government has not forgotten this fact, as shown by its
open support for U.S. military efforts in Iraq. Kuwait maintain tension U.S. bases on its soil and
reportedly can be hosted approximately 20,000 U.S. soldiers at any given time. The U.S.
department of energy reports that Kuwait donated about $350 million in assistance in primary
fuel to aid the U.S. war efforts in Iraq. The United Arab Emirates remains the UAE’s most
important military partner, and the two countries formed a joint military commission to facilitate
cooperation and joint training. More than a thousand Emiratis train every year in the United
States. Meanwhile, Dubai is the busiest foreign port of call for U.S. navy ships, and intelligence
cooperation is reportedly extremely tight. It seems that the United States can get whatever it
needs from UAE, at the same time, the United States has been more forth coming in supplying
sophisticated military equipment to the UAE than to almost any other country the UAE offered
training on its soil to hundreds of Iraqi troops and police recruits in 2004-2005.
