Bill overview
This bill, the End the Cyprus Arms Embargo Act of 2019, aims to ease restrictions on the United States’ ability to sell defense articles and services to Cyprus. It modifies existing policy to allow for more direct transfers to Cyprus if requested by the Cypriot government, while maintaining the possibility of denial based on human rights concerns. The bill also encourages continued cooperation between the U.S. and Cyprus on anti-money laundering efforts and preventing Russian naval access to Cypriot ports, with the President able to temporarily waive restrictions for national security reasons.
