The 12-minute meeting between Greece's rock star, super cool Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and US President Barack Obama may not have appeared to be that long in duration, but it was the longest meeting between a Greek minister and a US President. Also unprecedented was Varoufakis' appearance, true to his usual style he broke with protocol and appeared in front of Obama without a tie.
