A new U.S. strategy for the East Med focused on Greece?

The US role in the Eastern Mediterranean and the partnership between Washington, DC and Athens is the focus of a recent report by JINSA, the Jewish Institute for National Security of America. The report, titled “At the Center of the Crossroads: A New U.S. Strategy for the East Med',' highlights the geopolitical importance of the region for the United States, and calls on Washington to re-envision its presence in the Eastern Mediterranean to better defend its interests and support its regional partners. A large part of the report centers on Greece, with the authors calling on the US to expand its presence in the country in order to address challenges around the Eastern Mediterranean basin. 

Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins The Greek Current to talk about this report, which is also the focus of an article he is publishing in Saturday’s Kathimerini.
