During our discussion, we covered several important topics, including security in the eastern Mediterranean region and pushing back against Turkish aggression, reducing dependence on Russian energy sources and improving U.S. investments in Greece.
I can personally attest to the tremendous benefits of programs like Fulbright, which enabled me to study law and politics in Greece.
Importantly, we also talked about finding new ways to strengthen ties between Greek and American universities – especially by supporting exchange opportunities like the Fulbright Program.
This week, I had a great meeting with Prime Minister @kmitsotakis of Greece, alongside @SpeakerPelosi and Majority Leader McCarthy. https://t.co/pru1Qvja1c

Instead, it serves as a baseline to build future trade accords that ensure all American workers and consumers enjoy the strongest possible protections and that enforce the robust environmental standards needed to counteract the climate crisis.
While it’s an improvement on the status quo, the agreement we passed today does not serve as a template for future trade agreements.
It fails to set strong standards to address the climate crisis and expand consumer protections. It could also provide better labor protections for hardworking Americans to ensure that fewer jobs get shipped overseas.
However, despite the many improvements made by House Democrats, the new NAFTA agreement falls short in a number of areas.
The agreement we passed today strengthens oversight and enforcement mechanisms, improves labor standards and prevents pharmaceutical companies from abusing the trade pact to lock in high prescription drug prices.
Importantly, the new NAFTA agreement negotiated by @HouseDemocrats strips away many of the special-interest provisions pushed by Big Pharma and large corporations – giveaways that were largely embraced by the Trump Administration.
The new NAFTA agreement I supported yesterday makes several improvements to both the original NAFTA agreement signed in 1994 and the preliminary agreement put forward by the Trump Administration last year. https://t.co/zIo3WaoOjB
