The Transatlantic Periscope is an interactive, multimedia tool that brings together expert commentary, high-quality media coverage, official policy documents, quantitative data, social media posts, and gray literature. It will provide on a monthly basis a summary of the most important news concerning the Greek-US relations, as reflected in the media. Below you will find an overview for May 2025.

On May 7, 2025, Kimberly Guilfoyle completed the US State Department’s mandatory training for incoming ambassadors at the Foreign Service Institute, ahead of her anticipated appointment as US ambassador to Greece. According to the Greek newspaper ‘To Vima’, Guilfoyle’s confirmation hearing before the Senate is expected to take place between late June and early July, with a potential arrival in Athens projected for early September.

According to a statement issued by the Hellenic National Defence General Staff (HNDGS), from April 26 to May 8, 2025, and within the framework of the ongoing military cooperation between Greece and the United States, the bilateral exercise “STOLEN CERBERUS XI” was conducted under the coordination of the Special Warfare Command (SWC) of the HNDGS. Personnel and assets from the SWC and the Underwater Demolitions Command (UDC) of the Hellenic Navy General Staff, paratroopers from the Parachutists School of the Hellenic Army General Staff as well as Hellenic Air Force C-130 aircrafts participated in the exercise, along with US personnel from the 37th Airlift Squadron (86th Airlift Wing) and 3 MC-130J aircraft. The exercise took place in the wider area of Attica and the island of Skyros. It included air Cooperation, supply drops, Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC), as well as Military Free Fall and Static Line parachute jumps, contributing to the improvement of the military cooperation between the Armed Forces of the two countries.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Hellenic Air Force, Lieutenant General Dimosthenis Grigoriadis, visited the United States on May 19-23 in the context of preparations for the delivery of F-35 fighter jets, with the first four expected to be delivered in the second half of 2028. Adding the advanced US multi-role aircraft to the Hellenic Air Force fleet is considered crucial in boosting Greece’s deterrent power, at a time when geopolitical stability in the Eastern Mediterranean is gaining in importance. Lieutenant General Grigoriadis visited the Lockheed Martin facilities in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was briefed on the progress of the production of the Greek F-35 fighter aircraft. He was also briefed on the training procedures for both pilots and technical personnel who will support the operation and maintenance of the F-35 in order to ensuring a high level of operational availability. He also had successive meetings with US Defense Department officials and Lockheed Martin’s F-35 program managers and other top management.

The American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce officially inaugurated its US branch, in Washington DC, on May 22, thereby boosting its physical presence in the States and marking a new chapter in Greek-American economic relations. The official opening ceremony brought together leaders of the Greek-American community, US government officials, past and present ambassadors, stakeholders, and business representatives from Greece and the United States, including the leadership of its founding organization, the American-Hellenic Chamber.

In his correspondence dated May 26, 2025, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth expressed gratitude for his counterpart, Minister NIkos Dendias’ congratulatory letter regarding his appointment and for his ongoing support in bilateral cooperation. Hegseth also stated the strong ties that have existed for decades between the United States of America and Greece both on the bilateral level and through the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO). Hegseth underlined that the US Department of Defence remains committed to cooperation with Greece, adding that he believes that this relationship will get deeper in the future as Greece’s participation in the F-35 programme continues.
