Statement from White House Press Secretary Regarding Designations of UAE and Kingdom of Bahrain as Major Strategic Partners
The White House
Today, we are announcing the designation of both the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain as “Major Security Partners” of the United States.
The designation as a “Major Security Partner” is a status unique to the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain. It recognizes our exceptional security partnership-exemplified by their hosting thousands of United States Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines-and the commitment of each country to countering violent extremism across the region. Most notably, both countries have participated in numerous United States-led coalitions over the past 30 years.
