This document summarizes American foreign policy toward the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) since 2008 under President Obama. It discusses the policy shifts that occurred when Obama took office, including his statements toward the Muslim world and apology tour. It also examines tensions with Iran and Obama's willingness to negotiate with them, which concerned the GCC given Iran's aspirations. Finally, it outlines that the GCC perceives Obama's policies as disengaged and dismissive of their security concerns, creating a rift between the US and GCC over issues like the Iran nuclear deal, the Arab Spring, and confronting ISIS in Syria.
