President Trump Meets With Greek Prime Minister 

(Washington, DC)  —  President Trump says he and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of Greece had a productive meeting at the White House today.

The two leaders discussed economic cooperation, defense, commerce and trade. Trump thanked Tsipras for spending money on defense as a NATO nation.

The Associated press published a news report on Fox detailing some of the key items to be discussed between the two world leaders.They write that “President Donald Trump is welcoming Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to the White House to address a range of economic and security issues — and perhaps make amends.

Trump was meeting with the Greek leader in the Oval Office for talks Tuesday that are expected to cover defense cooperation, economic investment and energy security. They also may talk about the past.

During the 2016 election, the left-leaning Greek premier warned that Trump represented an “evil” set of ideas. Trump tweeted in 2012 that Greece should get out of the euro and go back to its own currency, adding, “they are just wasting time.” Greece has relied on international bailouts since 2010 to address hardships during the economic recession. In exchange, the country imposed painful spending cuts, tax hikes and reforms.”
