aug 5, 1990 - Reaction to the Invasion

Description:

Most Arab states condemned the invasion and the UN security council imposed complete trade sanctions on Iraq: no country could trade with Iraq until they removed all forces from Kuwait. This prevented oil exports, having a negative effect on Iraq'a already struggling economy.
