DEPORT

All that is known about the US deportation is that 57 Samoans will be returned home for overstaying and violating visas. It has not been said when the deportation will start.

CLIMATE HELP

Do not expect any climate change help from the US. Last week, the US closed its climate change office. If there are programs related to USAID and climate change, think twice.
