The United States established diplomatic relations with Saint Christopher and Nevis on September 20, 1983, but no U.S. mission has ever been established at Basseterre. After June 25, 1988, all relations were handled by the Embassy at St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. When that Embassy closed on June 30, 1994, all diplomatic functions have been handled out of the U.S. Embassy at Bridgetown, Barbados, where the U.S. Ambassador to Saint Kitts and Nevis is resident.
