Congress puts the spotlight back on the US-Greece relationship

It’s been a busy month in Washington, and Hellenic issues weren’t left out of the legislative agenda as Congresswoman Grace Meng and the Hellenic Caucus introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that once again puts the US-Greece relationship in the spotlight.

A part of the amendment that has gotten a lot of media attention – with some headlines misquoting the bill – calls for a report assessing the potential for additional bases or an expanded US military presence in Greece.

Endy Zemenides, the Executive Director of the Hellenic American Leadership Council, joins Thanos Davelis to cut through the headlines and break down what Congress is really calling for with this NDAA amendment that’s once again showing Congress’s commitment to take the US-Greece partnership to new heights.
