The U.S. and Bahrain have long worked closely on economic, financial, political, defense and security matters. The US-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement was signed in 2004 as the culmination of a one hundred year old friendship between the two nations. The US and Bahrain are partners in the United Nations, the WTO, and other political and economic forums aimed at promoting peace and prosperity throughout the world. The FTA further facilitates a trade relationship that grew 46 percent from 1999 to 2003 and saw $509 million in American merchandise exported to Bahrain in 2003.
