U S relations with Marshall Islands

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is a sovereign nation. While the government is free to conduct its own foreign relations, it does so under the terms of the Compact. The United States has full authority and responsibility for security and defense of the Marshall Islands, and the Government of the Marshall Islands is obligated to refrain from taking actions that would be incompatible with these security and defense responsibilities. The United States and the Marshall Islands have full diplomatic relations. Marshallese citizens may work and study in the United States without a visa, and they join the U.S. military at a higher rate than any U.S. state.

Didn’t take them long to show BO their thanks for the deal to lift sanctions, did it?


Agree. To me this says “ our next hostage is the US itself” as we know you will not harm us...

Good find. Of course “free association” in the Obama era means “You’re on your own”.

Why did this thread get pulled off the sidebar and a newer one show up there? This was the very first. In fact it was posted before most of the media had it.

US planes and Destroyer USS Farragut responded to distress call from ship in Iran waters - Pentagon

The response consisted of dropping DOD pamphlets on domestic violence and LGBT rights to the beleaguered crew of the cargo ship.
