Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told US President Joe Biden that ties between the two nations are the best they’ve ever been during a meeting at the White House on Monday.
In his second official visit to Washington, following a meeting with President Donald Trump in January 2020, Mitsotakis told Biden, “Our relationship, I honestly believe, is at an all-time high.”
“We have always been together on the right side of the story,” Mitsotakis is reported to have said before the beginning of his one-on-one meeting with the US President.
In his opening remarks, Biden referred to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and said the two had many things to talk about, such as Ukraine, trade and climate change.
“Sadly, Russia’s brutal attack on Ukraine is also a threat to democracy from autocrats who want to bear down on the rules-tested orders and rules-based orders. I want to thank you Mr. Prime Minister for Greece’s moral leadership. It’s not easy, I know,” Biden said.
