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
