Kyriakos Mitsotakis had the privilege, that few leaders have, to address the Plenary Session of the Congress, with the participation of both members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, protothema.gr reports.
And if one thinks that this is a formal process, this is not the case, given the power that Congress has over the functioning of the United States of America, with the typical example of the way it made the former President Trump impose sanctions under the CAATSA law on Turkey.
The Prime Minister personally wrote his speech in the previous days. From the Capitol podium, Mr. Mitsotakis referred to the Greek-American relations, which, as he noted during his meeting with Joe Biden yesterday, are at a historic high, with emphasis on both military and economic and energy cooperation.
Given the clear position that Greece has taken on the issue of Ukraine and which the Prime Minister invoked, Mr. Mitsotakis stressed that, in a changing world, Greece is a “hub” in the wider SE Mediterranean region and, at the same time, the most stable and reliable US partner in the region.
This, in fact, was the message, that American lawmakers should receive very seriously in terms of the Turkish provocations, while Mr. Mitsotakis realizes that Turkey’s “bargain” with the prospect of Finish and Swedish accession to NATO does not do good to the injured profile of its neighbors in Washington DC.
