Answer: George H W Bush
Notes: In August 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait, the President of the United States was George H. W. Bush. In August 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, rapidly occupying and subsequently annexing it. After a series of diplomatic attempts failed at convincing Iraq to quit its aggression, the United Nations mandated the liberation of Kuwait by force.
