About April Glaspie
April Glaspie is a retired American diplomat who served as the United States Ambassador to Iraq from 1989 to 1990. She gained international attention for her role in the events leading up to the Gulf War. Glaspie's diplomatic exchange with Saddam Hussein, the President of Iraq at the time, is widely debated and criticized for its ambiguity regarding U.S. intentions towards the Iraq-Kuwait dispute. After her tenure in Iraq, Glaspie continued to work in the U.S. State Department before retiring from diplomatic service.
