The following are the top stories in Malta's newspapers on Wednesday.

Times of Malta and Malta Today report that the government is under pressure following a decision to go for a SOFA forces agreement with the USA, giving special status to American servicemen in Malta. 

Times of Malta also reports that the controversial plans for an extension of the facilities of the American University of Malta were discussed by the developers in Castille in 2018.
