History
Kuwait boycotts Israeli products.[2] In January 2014 Kuwait boycotted a renewable energy conference in Abu Dhabi as it was attended by Israel.[3]
On the heels of the Abraham Accords, in response to Trump announcing that Kuwait could be the next Arab country to recognize Israel, Kuwait denied the claims. [4]
