AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Birthright Citizenship Fight: President Trump signed two new executive orders aimed at narrowing birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier bid—one targets children born in U.S. territories “where citizenship is not conferred by Federal statute” (American Samoa included), and another targets “birth tourism,” drawing fresh alarm from territorial advocates. Deep-Sea Mining Push: Pacific leaders say the U.S. moved without “no consultations” before proposing to auction large seabed areas near American Samoa, Guam, and the CNMI for mineral exploration, with concerns about food security and environmental harm. Oceania Volleyball (Guam vs Palau): Guam’s men and women both beat Palau in straight sets to advance in the 2026 Oceania Volleyball Championships—setting up medal-round semifinals that also connect to American Samoa’s seeding. Local Governance & Labor: The Senate Public Safety & Homeland Security Committee heard details on a proposed 12-month moratorium on the “special provision” clause, including the current foreign-worker counts and how the loophole has expanded hiring. Cost of Living: American Samoa’s Basic Food Index rose 0.8% in July 2026, driven by higher turkey tails and other staples.
