Relationship context

Knowledge coverageLimited

Overview

Curaçao is a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while foreign relations are principally handled at Kingdom level. The United States has operated a forward operating location at Curaçao’s Hato airport under a bilateral arrangement with the Kingdom, supporting counter-narcotics operations. This provides evidence of practical US cooperation connected to Curaçao, but does not establish an independent Curaçao foreign policy toward the United States.
