The upcoming visit of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the United States and his meeting with US President Joe Biden was announced by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

According to Ms. Psaki, “President Biden looks forward to meeting Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the White House on May 16, 2022. The Prime Minister’s visit is an opportunity to reaffirm our strong bilateral partnership and mark the 201st anniversary of Greek independence.”

Regarding the content of the negotiations Mitsotakis and Biden, a White House spokeswoman said: “Leaders will discuss ongoing efforts with allies and partners to support the people of Ukraine and impose economic costs on Russia for its unprovoked aggression. They will discuss our close collaboration on global challenges, including climate change and energy security.”

At the same time, Ms. Psaki adds that “the leaders will consider our joint efforts to strengthen global security through NATO, as well as our common goals of peace and prosperity in the region. They will also celebrate the history, democratic values, trade and investment ties that have united our peoples and countries for generations.”

It is also reported that on April 22, Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke about this with US Foreign Secretary Anthony Blinken. Megaro Maxim does not report on the topic of the conversation, but most likely, the parties discussed the most important issues for the United States now about the role of Greece in the Russian-Ukrainian war and the supply of LNG to Greece.
