A new beginning: What President Biden's inauguration signals to Greece and the world
Alexis Papachelas and Tom Ellis - two people who know America as well as anyone in Greece today - join The Greek Current to discuss the new beginning that President Biden's inauguration signals for the US and the world. We look at the phenomenon of "Trumpism" both in the US and in Greece, social media and its outsized influence, and the Biden administration's approach to Turkey and Greece.
Alexis Papachelas is the Executive Editor of Kathimerini, and Tom Ellis is the editor in chief of Kathimerini Enlgish edition.
This episode also marks a new beginning on the Greek Current. Starting today, the Hellenic American Leadership Council and Kathimerini are partnering to bring you The Greek Current every weekday.
