What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "End the Cyprus Embargo Act," aims to stop the policy of denial for the export, re-export, or transfer of defense articles and services to the Republic of Cyprus. Under this Act, the Secretary of State would no longer deny these requests if they are made by or for the Government of the Republic of Cyprus. The bill notes that this change would help reduce Cyprus's dependence on other countries that challenge United States interests. It also seeks to enhance the security relationship and cooperation between United States forces and the Republic of Cyprus. However, there are specific exceptions for human rights concerns and the possibility of the President waiving these exclusions.
