This bill would lift certain U.S. rules that limit security help and arms sales connected to Cyprus. It removes requirements that the President make yearly promises to Congress about Cyprus’s actions on money laundering and on blocking services to Russian warships before sending certain defense items. It also removes extra certification rules tied to security aid for Greece and Turkey, such as proving the aid is only for defense and keeps a military balance in the region. In short, it makes it easier and faster for the U.S. to provide defense equipment and security assistance in this part of the world. The text changes these limits by deleting parts of existing laws that set those conditions for Cyprus and related assistance rules.
