Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis arrived in the United States on Sunday (local time).
His first visit is at Tarpon Springs, Florida, where he will meet with members of the area’s large Greek community. He will celebrate Epiphany Day in Florida before heading to Washington for a slew of meetings with various officials, including US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
Mr Mitsotakis hopes to highlight Greece’s role in ensuring stability in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean as centre for both regions and a reliable ally of the United States.
