The sky is the limit in the US-Greece relationship

The broad consensus today is that US-Greece relations are at an all time high. As the two countries deepen their ties, and as Greece takes on a more active role in the region as a key player, many are arguing that the “sky is the limit” when it comes to where the relationship could go. This was the focus of a recent policy paper Katerina Sokou wrote for ELIAMEP, titled US-Greece Relations: Capitalizing on a Generational High. Katernia Sokou joins Thanos Davelis to explore how both countries can capitalize on the progress made so far to take this critical relationship to new heights.

Katerina Sokou is the Theodore Couloumbis Research Fellow on “Greek-American Relations” at ELIAMEP. She is also the Washington, DC correspondent and columnist for Kathimerini, and a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center.

Conflict in the Horn of Africa, the Turkey factor, and why it matters for Greece
