STORYLINE:
House Speaker Mike Johnson met with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the Cap[itol on Tuesday morning.
Mitsotakis is in Washington for the NATO summit starting Tuesday which President Joe Biden is hosting and also plans to shore up transatlantic support for Ukraine in its battle against Russia. But for Biden, the summit has become just as much about demonstrating he is capable of meeting the grinding demands of the presidency for four more years.
Heads of state from Europe and North America are confronting the prospect of the return of NATO skeptic Donald Trump as Biden tries to save his reelection campaign, which has been in a tailspin following a disastrous June 27 debate performance against Trump.
The gathering of the leaders from Greece and 31 other NATO countries — plus Pacific partners Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea, as well as Ukraine — is expected to be one of Biden’s last appearances at an international forum before Election Day and comes before next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
