President
Obama spoke by phone today with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of Greece
to congratulate him on his party’s success in the September 20
elections. President Obama
noted that the United States looks forward to working with the new
Greek government as it takes steps to implement needed reforms, return
to growth, and achieve debt sustainability within the Eurozone,
including through agreement on debt relief with its creditors.
President Obama also pledged U.S. solidarity with Greece and the
European Union in their response to the extraordinary surge in refugees
and migrants, and reiterated the U.S. commitment to helping Syrians and
others in need of humanitarian relief. The two
leaders agreed on the importance of working with Turkey on these
challenges, including efforts to bring about a successful resolution to
the settlement talks on Cyprus.
