Ambassador John Koenig served in the U.S. Foreign Service for over 30 years — including two critical postings in Cyprus: first as Political Counselor (1994–1997), then as U.S. Ambassador (2012–2015). In this episode, we dive deep into: his reflections on the Trump administration, the state of U.S. diplomacy and his candid views on Cyprus, past and present. The conversation was prompted by his recent article on Substack, which reignited public debate in Cyprus about his time as ambassador. A rare, unfiltered exchange with a seasoned diplomat — offering unique insight into how diplomats think, act, and view the world around us.
