AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Opioid settlement turns into cash: Delaware says the $7.4B Purdue Pharma/Sackler deal is now legally effective, with funds flowing to communities and victims and a permanent ban on the Sacklers selling opioids in the U.S. CNMI rebuilds with fiber and power discipline: The Commonwealth is signing onto a fully underground, climate-hardened end-to-end fiber buildout under BEAD, while CUC files its first big FEMA reimbursement package—$75M for the first 90 days after Sinlaku—warning it must tighten oversight to keep federal dollars. Sinlaku recovery keeps moving, but gaps remain: Guam reports $435M in public infrastructure damage and is preparing a major disaster request; USACE and partners have started installing STRONG temporary roofs. Policy friction hits the islands’ economy: Analysts and residents warn that moves to restrict Chinese travel could undercut CNMI tourism just as recovery ramps up. Elsewhere in the region: United launches new nonstop Japan routes, and a U.S. committee blocks marijuana rescheduling funding.
