The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan and the United States of America share bilateral relations. Bhutan is represented in the US through its permanent mission to the United Nations.
While both countries do not share diplomatic missions, relations between two nations are reviewed as "friendly and close", due to shared values between the two countries. The growing alliance between India and the U.S. has also helped to improve US–Bhutanese bilateral relations.
History
The U.S. has offered to resettle 60,000 of the 107,000 Bhutanese refugees of Nepalese origin now living in seven U.N. refugee camps in southeastern Nepal.[2]
