KUWAIT, Sept 9 (NNN-KUNA) – The scheduled meeting between Kuwaiti Emir, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and U.S. President, Donald Trump, is postponed as the Emir has been admitted to a hospital in the United States for medical tests.
The hospital’s admission of the Emir forced the postponement of the meeting with the U.S. president, and the date would be set later, Sheikh Ali Jarrah Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti Minister of Amiri Diwan, said.
The Kuwaiti Emir, who arrived in the United States last week, was scheduled to hold a summit with Trump, at the White House, on Sept 12 .
The Emir’s visit to the U.S. comes, amid high tensions in the Gulf, caused by a standoff between the U.S. and Iran, as Washington heightens pressure on Tehran, by imposing suffocating sanctions, following its exit from the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal. Kuwait has pledged to make its efforts to help stabilise the region.– NNN-KUNA
