Meanwhile, USA backs Tsipras government on FYROM deal

As Greek parliamentarians prepare to discuss and vote on the confidence motion against the Tsipras government, the US administration has made a point of making it known that it supports the government over the FYROM deal and bilateral relations. A high-level US official on Monday told Greek journalists that 2018 will be remembered as one of the most productive years in the history of US-Greece relationship and noted that Greece will be the real beneficiary of the Prespes Agreement, both in terms of the benefits it will see after its full implementation and the resolution of the name issue.
