The EastMed Act now awaits a signature by US President Donald Trump to become US federal law, with the bill including provision with a direct Greek and Cypriot interest.
Among others, the legislation would expel Turkey from the F-35 fighter plane program, while a long-standing restriction of American weapons sales to island republic of Cyprus would be lifted.
The bill also establishes a US-Eastern Mediterranean Energy Center to facilitate energy cooperation among the US, Israel, Greece and Cyprus; a Foreign Military Financing (FMF) assistance for Greece and increased International Military Education and Training (IMET) assistance to Greece.
