It was recently announced that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will visit the White House next month and deliver what’s been described as a historic address to a joint session of Congress. This week we also saw two marathon hearings in the Senate and the House, where Secretary Blinken was grilled by members of Congress on the administration’s broader foreign policy strategy that covered Russia, China, and touched on Turkey. Endy Zemenides, HALC’s Executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest breakdown.
