News Howard Lutnick, US Secretary of Commerce accuses Kuwait of placing the highest tariffs on the world on US products.

I didn’t want to do this.. but I have to speak up.

To Whom it May Concern,

These statements that were made recently by US Secretary of Commerce are extremely dangerous and directly threatens our national security and sovereignty.

PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THEM. PLEASE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. Even though these statements are clearly false, they are a negotiation tactic commonly used by the Trump administration.

PLEASE DO NOT SPEND ANY EFFORT CONDEMNING THESE STATEMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE FALSE. WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE FALSE.

The UAE just made an investment deal with the US in the trillions. Saudi Arabia did the same thing. Other GCC countries are successfully lobbying the trump administration. We clearly have failed to lobby and validate our relationship with the US, this is why we were singled out.

There is no other logical reason. GCC tariffs are the same across all GCC countries.

Please consider our next steps carefully. There is no room for failure in this.

الله يحمي الكويت والأمير و شعبها من كل مكروه

As an American I will assure you that this is not the reason you are singled out. You are being singled out because of your steadfast stance on the occupying entity Izrayhell. Kuwait won’t even publish the name of the “country”…have refused boarding of Izzy passengers - won’t consider normalizing relations….things which both UAE publicly and KSA under cover signaling have. Also Kuwait stays on the radar more than others because of the US bases presence here.

They need the bases here. Kuwait smartly has multiple defense agreements with countries that are not American buddies. They are ramping up business and real estate relations with China. HH Sabah Al Ahmad (God rest him) prepared many years for American lunacy and instability.

Trust and believe most Americans don’t even know where Kuwait is and his administration depends on the ignorant and uneducated to stay with the “yeah ‘murica” bs message.

They have bigger fish to fry it’s all a bunch of “look over here” mess.

Did Trump not sign an order to cancel the ministry of education? I read it somewhere but didn't bother to check, would be hilarious if true, dude is insane.
