Quick Glance: Rescue of Stranded Mariners Using Palm Leaves
- Three sailors were rescued from a remote Pacific Island after being stranded for over a week and using palm leaves to write 'HELP' on the white sand beach, as announced by the U.S. Coast Guard.
- The men found themselves stranded on Pikelot Atoll after their boat was damaged during a fishing trip on March 31.

- Survival supplies were effectively provided to the stranded sailors until the USCGC Oliver Henry redirected to Pikelot Atoll on April 9 to finalize the rescue operation, according to officials.

Quick Glance: Exclusive: US negotiator to sign new agreement with strategic Marshall Islands on Monday
- The United States has extended its agreement on ties with the strategic Marshall Islands for 20 years and plans to sign the $2.3 billion deal on Monday.
- Joseph Yun, the chief negotiator of the United States with the Pacific island nation, announced that he will sign the COFA agreement with RMI Foreign Minister Jack Adding in Honolulu, Hawaii, at 2 p.m. local time (0000 GMT Tuesday).
- Washington will provide the Marshall Islands with $2.3 billion over the next 20 years, consisting of grants and contributions to the trust fund.
- The delay in finalizing the COFA agreement with the Marshall Islands was attributed by experts and former officials to concerns raised by U.S. State Department lawyers, who wanted to control the use of new funds and objected to their use in addressing the nuclear legacy, fearing that it could lead to more claims.
