We’ve had over a week to reflect on Prime Minister Mitsotakis’s visit to Washington, DC, a visit that showcased Greece’s enhanced role as one of Washington’s closest allies. This visit also came at a time when solidarity within NATO has become of the utmost importance. Unfortunately, that solidarity is being tested in the Aegean, where Turkish provocations have escalated tensions. Dr. Jake Sotiriadis joins Thanos Davelis to reflect on Prime Minister Mitsotakis’s visit, look at how the US-Greece cooperation is advancing American foreign policy objectives across the region, and stress the need for NATO solidarity - which Turkey is testing.

Dr. Jake Sotiriadis is the Director of the Center for Futures Intelligence at National Intelligence University, where he sits on the research faculty.
