Belarus–United States relations

Interstate relations between the United States and Belarus began in 1991 upon the dissolution of the Soviet Union, of which Belarus had been a part. In the 2000s, relations between the two states had turned sour, with the United States accusing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of human rights violations amid their closening of relations with Russia, while Belarus responded by demanding that the U.S. not intervene in its internal affairs.
