Trump administration

Tycoons and major corporations in the U.S. are poised to break the 2017 fundraising record for a presidential inauguration fund as they seek favor with the incoming Trump administration.

Hello! Today we wrap up for the first round of Christmas holidays with warm wishes to all our readers—for health, happiness, and peace of mind. May there be less “toxic material” around us. As I close with these wishes, I can’t help but comment on something that doesn’t annoy me but… amazes me.

US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Michael Kratsios, a Greek-American with roots from the island of Chios and the northern city of Kastoria, as the new director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

As his term in Greece nears its end, US Ambassador George Tsunis reflects on his tenure in an interview with Kathimerini. He highlights what he sees as his most significant accomplishments and underscores the robust US-Greece relationship, expressing confidence that it will remain strong under a Trump administration.

Greek-American Michael Kratsios has been chosen by Donald Trump to fill the role of Director for Science and Technology Policy in the new administration that will take office in January.

The government is taking action following media reports circulated by Türkiye that Ankara is preparing an EEZ with Syria, starting with what Kyriakos Mitsotakis told his European partners at the EU-Western Balkans Summit.

The Donald Trump said former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney may be in “big trouble” after the release of a report by Trump lawmakers accusing her of witness bribery.

The upheavals across the Middle East over the past year and a half - with the collapse of Assad's regime in Syria taking center stage now - mean that the incoming Trump administration has a new chance to reshape the region. This raises important questions for Greece, which sits at the crossroads between Europe and the Middle East, and is at the heart of a number of regional initiatives.

President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming policies could create a "window of opportunity" for Turkish companies, says Şekib Avdagiç, president of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (İTO).

Türkiye could become more competitive in products that are produced by countries that will be subject to high tariffs to be imposed by the second Trump administration, Avdagiç argued.

The future is uncertain for Bashar al-Assad and his family, who fled to Russia after his overthrow ended more than 50 years of ruling Syria by the same family.
