The United States has already concluded CofA with small island states – Micronesia, Marshall Islands and Palau, and their provisions differ depending on the signature.
Usually, in such an agreement, US authorities guarantee countries a lot of necessary services – from delivery of mail to emergency response and military protection. In exchange for this, the US military has freedom of action in Cofa signaries, and their trade with the United States is mostly duty-free.
According to two Reuters sources, some officials of the US National Security Council and the Trump National Security Council created by Trump are conducted by Trump.
