U.S. Officials Set to Visit Greece
The upcoming visits by both President Trump and Secretary Esper to Greece underscore the strong ties between the United States and Greece. These diplomatic engagements are expected to cover a range of topics, including defense cooperation, economic partnerships, and regional security issues.
