Pacific Fishing Policy: President Trump signed a proclamation reopening fishing access in parts of three Pacific marine national monuments, including waters tied to the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument near CNMI, a move King-Hinds says must come with strong local engagement and stewardship. Trade & Agriculture: The U.S. is considering expanding fresh pineapple exports from the Philippines to all U.S. ports, with Guam and CNMI among the current access points, after pest-risk mitigation steps. Tourism Recovery: The Marianas Visitors Authority says recovery from Super Typhoon Sinlaku is advancing, with phased flight resumptions and major hotels and golf courses reopening as visitor numbers rise. Utilities & Cost Relief: On Tinian, FEMA and the U.S. military are covering generation and fuel costs so residents pay only a basic $7 customer fee for now, with normal CUC billing expected to resume around July 10. Workforce & Immigration: King-Hinds pushed H.R. 8931 to ease CNMI CW-1 “touchback” impacts by treating certain earlier CW-1 workers as long-term qualified for a three-year CW visa. Deep-Sea Mining Debate: Experts warn U.S. deep-sea mining rules are outdated and lack oversight, as leasing plans include potential future sales tied to CNMI. Disaster Response: Nearly two months after Sinlaku, CNMI disaster food assistance was approved, and the 9th Mission Support Command wrapped up its relief mission in Saipan. Transportation: Philippine Airlines is suspending Manila–Saipan service until Oct. 22, 2026, and Cebu–Osaka until Oct. 24, with rebooking and refund options for affected passengers.
