Endy Zemenides, the Executive Director of the Hellenic American Leadership Council, joins Thanos Davelis to cut through the headlines and break down what Congress is really calling for with this NDAA amendment that’s once again showing Congress’s commitment to take the US-Greece partnership to new heights.Read Endy Zemenides’ latest article in Kathimerini here: Beyond the hyperbolic headlinesYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Justice minister praises handling of Limassol fire, hopes for a ‘better day’Extreme weather conditions: EU sends assistance to Slovenia and CyprusGreece sends two Canadair fire fighting aircraft to help Cyprus fight a forest fireGreece, Israel boost defense industry links
