‘Transactional diplomacy: Greece positioning itself as the US’ most reliable ally in the region’
François Picard is pleased to welcome Petros Konstantinidis, Journalist for TA NEA, Greece’s leading daily newspaper, as a financial and investigative reporter. It has all the makings of a telenovela. “This is diplomacy under Trump turning into lifestyle diplomacy”, explains Konstantinidis. With this striking observation, he captures the transformation of US-Greek relations under Donald Trump. Against a backdrop of controversy surrounding US ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump Jr’s ex-fiancee, Konstantinidis exposes the tensions between diplomatic spectacle, allegations of political interference and increasingly transactional geopolitical alliances. From American energy investments and multibillion-dollar arms purchases to Greece’s ambitions as a regional energy hub, Konstantinidis reveals how economic vulnerability and strategic calculation are reshaping Athens’ foreign policy, raising fundamental questions about sovereignty, diplomacy, realpolitik and the price of privileged access to Washington.
