FILE - In this March 31, 2019 file photo, Kuwait's ruling emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, attends the opening of the 30th Arab Summit, in Tunis, Tunisia. Kuwait said its 91-year-old ruling emir, who recently underwent surgery, will travel to the U.S. on Thursday for further medical care. That’s according to a report late Wednesday, July 22, 2020, by the state-run KUNA news agency. Sheikh Sabah’s sudden surgery could inspire a renewed power struggle within Kuwait’s ruling family.
Kuwait has yet to elaborate on what required Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah to seek a previously unannounced medical treatment beginning Saturday and a surgery Sunday. However, Sheikh Sabah’s sudden surgery could inspire a renewed power struggle within Kuwait’s ruling family. Kuwait earlier announced that 83-year-old Crown Prince Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah had assumed some of Sheikh Sabah’s powers temporarily, without explaining why that was necessary.
Sheikh Sabah, a widely beloved ruler in this OPEC-member nation, took power in 2006 just nine days into the rule of the ailing Sheikh Saad Al Abdullah Al Sabah. Concerns mounted during Sheikh Saad’s brief reign as he was seen in public only in a wheelchair and did not speak.
Typical. One law for the rich an one law for the rest
He’s paying cash !!!! Let him in !!!
Stupid time to come to US for hospital care.
The American healthcare system works so well for the rich, doesn’t it?
USA = best medical care. 🤠👍
May appear risky of someone of his age to travel to the core of infection in US yet there country is not so well placed either regarding the virus.
Take him out
I thought countries with universal health care had much better health care? Guess not.
Is that wise?
What hospital has space right now and why would anyone want to come here now...regardless the reason
Too bad the US healthcare system is so horrible......Doesn’t this guy watch DNC and leftists propaganda?
I hate to break it to them, but sending an old frail person in failing health to the US really isn't a good idea right now...
Wouldn't it be cheaper and safer to send the Doctors to him? Yet Americans are having to postpone there medical care because of COVID-19.... must be nice to have billions!!!!!
He wants to fly here...where all the corona is...to get healthcare.
Can we take care of our own people first?
Tell him to stay there. We can’t afford to give up any hospital beds for rich Arabs!
Don’t we have a ban on Muslims, according to trump?
I thought the USA was the “evil” in the world? Chime in KingJames , BLM, NBA! Are we not the slave traders, war mongers, and racists of the world? But our medical care is second to none? How?
Why would he come to the supposedly worst country for healthcare? 🤔
And people say we have a bad health care system here...
What? Didn’t Bernie Sanders teach us that America’s quality of healthcare is abysmal? Why would someone with rich ruler do that?
The emir's eventual passing would create a good opportunity for the monarchial regime to transfer state power to a democratically elected legislative body. (I know, lol).
Best of luck
At the age of 91, he’s safer staying right where he is. There is no fountain of youth in the US!
الله يحفظه ويطول بعمره بوناصر
no..
That’s a nice chair
I hope he has insurance.
ED treatment.
Treatment for being 91
Don't come to the USA
Nothing new, remember in the early 1990's use to go to The John Hopkins, I am sure they have used other well known medical centers.
Go to the US? Now?
Nope don’t have room for Grandma-hell to the no-to come take our hospital beds...plus TrumpVirus is raging out of control..don’t believe Trump that’s its embers, you will you be screwed. We do have a ventilator and a refrigerated truck if things go south for ya
Will be at one of two places Bathesda or JohnsHopkins, Or the DeptofDefense will spend 10 million $$$ of everyones tax dollars to have a private suite in VA setup The C/TS docs are seen as a personal favor, and even Bush is mentioned
Probably not the best time to come to the States... He did see how many new cases were in the US in just 24 hours, right?
I think it’s time to say if he wants to come here for treatment he needs to give us some free gasoline or oil
What, not Canada or Australia?
These slave holders should fall! The fact that the US spreads democracy let allows these warlords to exist is a shame. Anyone who claims to be a monarch is a supremecist and should be removed. End oppression in the middle east. TuesdayThoughts EndRacism
You better think that over, bcuz you come here say goodbye. America hates muslims.
everyone get rid of your narcissistic silly hats........ god cares not..................
Hope he doesn't need a COVID-19 test
He’s paying his protection money to trump in person
And yet Americans want our healthcare system turned into that of a socialized country. When are they going to realize that America is the best country in the world? Every other nation sees it and wants to be it.
But what about COVID-19? Are there no flight restrictions?
Better hurry emir, the Houston medical center is filling up fast
Are you fucking kidding me right now I just can't.. I need a drink. Shit.
he doesn’t look 91.
RIP
What?! No! You'll die here.
He'll probably get Covid.
