US-Greece defense bill included in NDAA, Turkey's request to purchase F-16s, and more

Last week the US-Greece Defense and Interparliamentary Partnership Act made headlines as it was included as an amendment to the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act, or the NDAA. This move comes at a time when Greece and the United States have seen their bilateral relationship reach new heights. US-Turkey relations were also in the spotlight.

Endy Zemenides, HALC’s Executive Director, joins The Greek Current to discuss these key developments.
