It was an honor to be at @YpenGr to witness the growing partnership between @Chevron and @HELLENiQENERGY, as they expand energy exploration in the southern Ionian. This represents another significant milestone in U.S.-Greece energy cooperation.

Energy cooperation is the backbone of global stability. I was proud to join @SecretaryWright and @YpenGr Minister Papastavrou for the historic launch of the Eastern Mediterranean Energy Center at @RiceUniversity’s @BakerInstitute for Public Policy, a milestone for the 3 1 partnership 🇺🇸 🇬🇷 🇨🇾🇮🇱. Under the leadership of @POTUS, America is working with our partners to advance energy security, regional stability, economic growth, and new investment across the Eastern Mediterranean. When nations work together to secure reliable and affordable energy, they strengthen their economies and the partnerships that keep our world safe and prosperous. The new Eastern Mediterranean Energy Center advances this critical cooperation. We look forward to expanding business-to-business engagement and unlocking the vast energy potential of the region for the benefit of our nations and our people.

I was deeply blessed to meet His Beatitude Theophilos III, Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem, in Athens. His Beatitude’s gracious awarding of President Donald J. Trump as Great Bearer of the Cross of the Order of Cross-Bearers of the Holy Sepulchre underlines the deep bonds of faith between the United States and Greek Orthodox Church. The United States is committed to protecting religious freedom worldwide.

The United States is deeply disappointed by the Greek Piraeus Court of Appeals’ decision to release Alexandros Giotopoulos, the leader and mastermind of the far-left Greek terrorist organization 17 November. Over the course of 27 years, 17 November assassinated four American government employees: Richard Welch, Captain George Tsantes, Captain William Nordeen, and Sergeant Ronald Stewart.  The group also murdered a British military attaché, a Turkish embassy employee, and 16 prominent Greeks, including the brother-in-law of current Prime Minister Mitsotakis. state.gov/releases/office-of…

It was a privilege to host a celebration for my dear friend Mayor Rudy Giuliani at Jefferson House last night on the occasion of his 82nd birthday. Rudy is not just a great friend to @POTUS. He also holds a special place in America’s heart for his unwavering leadership following the September 11 attacks. I wish America’s Mayor good health, happiness, and many joyful years ahead!
