Cyprus Expands Defense Ties with U.S.

Cyprus President has pledged to enhance defense cooperation with the U.S., following a meeting with President Biden that set ambitious goals for bilateral relations at a historic high. Meanwhile, the Biden administration announced a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) concerning oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, aimed at mitigating environmental harm and protecting local communities and wildlife. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Justice is offering a workshop for tribes to help them access discretionary grants to improve their justice systems. These developments indicate a continued focus on international partnerships and environmental protections under the current administration.
