"...American investors should not view Greece as an isolated market; it should be treated as a gateway to the Balkan and European markets, just as investors in other countries, like Israel and Egypt, do. The country’s consistent and reliable stance as an ally justifies, if not demands, initiatives from the US government and Congress to increase American investment and commercial activity in the country and to help bolster the Greek economy". – eKathimerini 2024, Feb 22
