Kuwait, which has been pivotal to nearly two decades of U.S. involvement in Iraq, has been mired in internal wrangling over economic issues and the political dominance of the ruling family for the past 3 years. There also are signs of Sunni-Shiite tensions, which previously were absent or muted. Among other effects, the political stalemate has delayed key energy projects. This report is divided into the following sections: (1) Governmental Changes and Political Reform; (2) U.S.-Kuwait Relations and Cooperation on Iraq; (3) Foreign Policy Issues, including Cooperation in the Global War on Terrorism; and (4) Economic Policy. The report will be updated.
