Greece: A Pillar of Stability in a Troubled Region
Delivered (virtual)
Alexia Tasouli: Mr. Ambassador, let me ask you first, since your country made this decision to impose sanctions. What impact might this decision have on U.S.-Turkey relations?
Ambassador Pyatt: Thanks, Alexia. Thank you for this conversation, and huge congratulations to you and Symeon and Endy Zemenides for putting this event together virtually. I remember so well last year’s event in Washington DC, and it’s really impressive that we’ve been able to pull this together in the virtual environment with such high-level participation from both sides of the Atlantic, and I think it really reflects the very positive moment we’re at in U.S.-Greece relations.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) acknowledged the Electoral College s certification of the presidential election results, congratulating President-Elect Joe Biden on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday morning.
“Six weeks ago, Americans voted in this year’s general election. The legal and constitutional processes have continued to play out since then. Yesterday, electors met in all 50 states. So as of this morning, our country has officially a president-elect and a vice president-elect. Many of us hoped that the presidential election would yield a different result. But our system of government has processes to determine who will be sworn in on Jan. 20,” Leader McConnell said. “The Electoral College has spoken. So today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden.”
Good Morning America. As the
GMA co-anchor has done in the past, Robin Roberts was reluctant to press the Democrat on any issue with tough questions or criticism, and instead chose to gush over her historic win, instead.
In fact, that’s how she phrased her first softball to Harris:
In just a few short weeks Kamala Harris will make history
when she is sworn in. But following a contentious and extended election season bringing the country together remains a major challenge. President Trump, what are your thoughts on his reluctance to acknowledge the election?
While Roberts invited criticism of President Trump, she refused to highlight criticism for the incoming administration.
