Kuwait's 91-year-old ruling emir leaves this morning for the United States to seek further medical care after recently undergoing surgery, its state-run news agency reports.

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. However, an Airbus A340 flown by Kuwait’s government left Thursday morning flying west. That same Airbus had flown to Rochester, Minnesota, and New York City before returning to Kuwait just days before Sheikh Sabah’s surgery. That Airbus A340 is believed to be a medical transport aircraft.

A copy of the ministerial decree posted by Kuwait’s official gazette, Kuwait Al-Youm, and seen by The Associated Press on Sunday, said the crown prince would be empowered for “the duration of a surgical procedure until the health event is over.” However, Sheikh Sabah’s ascension upset an informal power-sharing arrangement between branches of Kuwait’s ruling family. While Kuwait has since remained politically stable with the most-empowered parliament of any Gulf Arab nation, there have been internal power struggles behind the scenes of his rule.

This doesn’t sounds good for rich Kuwait. Why this rich country doesn’t have the equipment and doctors available in Minnesota? All dictators and kings sucking country resources but for their pleasure and medical treatments, they go to western countries. Shame!

I’m guessing he’s going to Portland. He will fit right in

a US hospital is not where I would want to be going to at this time

Hope the drs make it mistake on him

According to the liberals he should go to Europe instead to get their great medical care

And if something goes wrong? Then we will be at war with Kuwait as well. Sounds good. 🙄

Remember when we sent in troops to make sure he and his other slave owning despots could maintain their way of life?

Mayo Clinic?

Everybody still comes to America for the best healthcare, but Congress still can't offer its own citizens quality, affordable coverage. realDonaldTrump NationalHealthcare

Bunch of freaking vampires. Don’t allow him into America.

Well, he's dead.

But I though that US healthcare was horrible? Why isnt he going to a country with state run healthcare?

Now why would he want to use our 'broken' healthcare system? Were our facilities and physicians the only ones in his insurance network?

Eek, hasn’t he heard we have a raging pandemic going on?

no offense but we have the rona here... so you may want to go to canada.

While he’s here he should kiss all of our asses for the Persian Gulf War. The very least he can do.

More proof that we offer the best healthcare in the world.

No one has told him he's going to get Covid here? I guess Trump and Jared are keeping it a secret from him.

Welp, he dead

Doesn't he know he can't go back?

The USA is Closed!!!

At 91, give it a rest already. You’ve lived a full life, time to sleep with the fishes.

Wait! and americans complain of the worst healthcare lmaooooo

He coulda stayed and passed there. I continue to question why any of them are allowed in our country after 9/11!

I wish him good health

Aren’t these the guys who fooled us into Gulf war 1 How many American lives were lost because of Nariyah Send him back !

these fucking dinosaurs wants to live forever to rule their harems, why don't they fly into Saudi and pray to whatever stupid rocks than to come here and die on infidel land.

I wonder why he didn't go to a country with Universal Healthcare

One of the few who can afford our medical care. Money will keep him safe from being harmed by the coronavirus here.

Considering the WHO has the U.S. ranked 37 in healthcare, the emir may be better off going to Italy or France for treatment. Plus, COVID-19 is rampant across America.

So when he dies here they will blame us. Smh

You sure you wanna come here?

shoulda went to Canada, he’s gonna be in the Kuwaiting Room for hours

is he going to be tested for everything and stowed away for a minimum of 14 days?

That’s courage.

An elderly, already immunocompromized man flying to a hotbed of coronavirus for medical treatment? Probably not the best choice right now.

Check him for COVID-19 DHS_Wolf Moslem terrorist on his way to the homeland. ACT NOW!!

Why would he come here with all this covid? And why would we let him in the US WITH COVID EVERYWHERE HES FROM? Where what state is he going to? I hope it’s not NY

I thought people weren’t supposed to be able to travel internationally right now..

Why not Europe I heard they have this amazing socialized healthcare

You think he likes anal?

고담꺼 처리해.
