• US Ambassador April Glaspie signals neutrality in Iraq-Kuwait dispute On July 25, 1990, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq April Glaspie met with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to discuss the escalating tensions between Iraq and Kuwait. During the meeting, Glaspie conveyed that the United States had no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflict, including the border dispute between Iraq and Kuwait, stating, "We have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait." This message was consistent with the U.S. policy at the time, which refrained from intervening in such disputes. However, this stance has been subject to debate, with some critics suggesting that it may have been interpreted by Saddam Hussein as a tacit approval for military action. The exact details of the conversation have been a point of contention, with differing accounts from the U.S. and Iraqi perspectives. source: washingtonpost.com
