Show full summary
- Government of the Republic of Cyprus: Gains authorized access to U.S. defense equipment and services when it is the requesting end-user, aimed at reducing Cyprus's dependence on other countries for defense materiel.
- U.S. military and partnerships: Encourages deeper cooperation, including joint National Guard training programs and support for Cyprus's potential membership in NATO's Partnership for Peace.
- Human rights and executive control: Transfers can be blocked for credible human rights concerns. The President may waive the restriction for one fiscal year and may terminate the exclusion after five years, with renewal tied to certifications about anti-money laundering cooperation and denial of Russian military vessel access to ports.

Easier U.S. defense sales to Cyprus
If enacted, the State Department would stop using a blanket denial policy for U.S. defense exports to Cyprus when the Cypriot government is the buyer and end-user. This would start on the date of enactment. Exports could still be denied if there are credible human rights concerns. The President could waive this change for one fiscal year if needed for national security. Starting five years after enactment, the President could end the change for five-year periods if he certifies Cyprus stopped cooperating on anti-money-laundering reforms and is allowing Russian military ships to refuel or get service in its ports.
