April Glaspie our ambassador to Iraq led Saddam to believe that US would not intervene if he invaded Kuwait.
That is a widely discussed claim, but historians and scholars remain divided on how much responsibility can be attributed to April Glaspie.
The argument stems largely from a meeting between Glaspie and Saddam Hussein on July 25, 1990, just days before Iraq invaded Kuwait. According to an Iraqi transcript of the meeting, Glaspie reportedly said that the United States had “no opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.”
Those who support the claim argue that Saddam interpreted this as a signal that the U.S. would not oppose military action against Kuwait.
