AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Defense & Security: The U.S. deployed its Dark Eagle long-range hypersonic weapon to Guam for Exercise Valiant Shield, with training tied to the Northern Mariana Islands and Japan—raising the stakes for the region as tensions with China continue. Local Power Recovery: Commonwealth Utilities Corp. says it has received new restoration materials (including poles and transformers) to keep power coming back after recent typhoons, with some Saipan areas still facing longer outages. CNMI Health Support: HHS/ASPR is expanding recovery help for Typhoon Bavi, including the Emergency Prescription Assistance Program for Saipan, Rota, and Tinian, plus a Disaster Behavioral Health Team. Citizenship Fight: Opposition is growing in the Marianas to a federal bill that would end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in CNMI and other territories starting Jan. 1, 2027—local leaders warn it could disrupt the Covenant and future families. Trans Military Vote: A House NDAA amendment to codify Trump’s transgender military ban failed 212-217, but two other anti-trans amendments advanced. Birth Tourism/Visas: Separate policy moves and visa discussions continue to swirl around Guam/CNMI travel and citizenship rules, including a push for a Philippines visa waiver. Business & Tech: A Guam tech conference highlighted how cybersecurity, AI, and power-grid limits are forcing regional companies to rethink how they protect and run operations. Courts/Drugs: Two people were indicted in separate federal meth conspiracy cases in the CNMI. Weather: NWS says Invest 90W has dissipated and the Marianas should see mostly sunny conditions with a few showers.
