History

Historical Context

The Gulf War ended with a UN-backed cease-fire on 28 February 1991 after a 42-nation coalition led by the United States drove Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Iraq’s retreat set fire to roughly 700 oil wells, cutting regional output sharply. That legacy of oil-targeted warfare underlies today’s talks between President Donald Trump, President Volodymyr Zelensky and NATO warnings about Russian drones threatening Poland’s border.
