[Grammar] the US's? Possessive case with abbreviations

[tyrp]

Hello,
Could you tell me how to form the possessive case of abbreviations, like the UK, the US etc? Do we just add 's to the abbreviated word? Will it be 'the US's policy' then?
Thanks a million for your help!

Yes, your possessive form is correct. I'd personally leave out the, though.

You can, or you can simply say "US policy."

Native speakers wouldn't leave it out, engee.

Why the inconsistency then, 'The US's policy' but 'US policy'?
