Less than two years have passed since the last time Kyriakos Mitsotakis crossed the doors of the White House to meet with American President Biden. Back in May 2022, Joe Biden welcomed the Prime Minister with a tie adorned with Greek flags. Two years later, things are different: Mr. Mitsotakis has recently won the national elections again and is facing the European elections ahead, while Mr. Biden is gearing up for the presidential elections in November, where he will face a tough battle against Donald Trump.

This time, it seems that the anniversary of the Greek Revolution is the occasion for Mr. Mitsotakis to attend the White House. American Ambassador George Tsounis “revealed” yesterday the plan for a visit on April 4th, with the government reiterating that it has not officially received an invitation. However, according to information from protothema.gr, Mr. Tsounis…didn’t lie, while there is also discussion of the scenario for the meeting of the two men to take place on April 3rd, given that on the 5th of the month, Mr. Mitsotakis should be in Athens anyway, where the New Democracy conference begins at the Zappeion with high-profile guests from abroad.

Soon, however, the “when” of the visit will be finalized, while for April 4th, the event with the Diaspora for the celebration of March 25th is scheduled, which takes place annually in honor of the Greek Revolution. Mr. Mitsotakis, however, made it clear that he would go to Washington if there was an invitation from Mr. Biden for a bilateral meeting. “If we receive an invitation, we will respond,” said Mr. Mitsotakis to journalists at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation yesterday, responding to a question about whether the fact that the Americans have elections in November is troubling the Greek side regarding timing. “One thing is for sure, I will be here for the ND conference”, added Mr. Mitsotakis humorously, who did not confirm any date, nor did he deny the relevant information and of course what was publicly stated by Mr. Tsounis.
