Greece to discuss 5-year US defence deal: PM

Greece and the US are in talks to extend their defence deals by five years, instead of one-year renewals now in force, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Sunday.

There would be a “more important US presence in our country, possibly in areas where they currently do not have a presence,” he said, without elaborating.

Mitsotakis added that Greek-US strategic cooperation “is at its best level ever”.
