Washington and Athens Deepen Energy Partnership Amid Shift from Russian Supplies

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, US Home Affairs Secretary Doug Burgum and Greek Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou participate in a meeting in Athens.

The United States is moving to strengthen its energy relationship with Greece as part of a broader strategy to reduce Europe’s reliance on Russian oil and gas. During a visit to Athens, U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum met with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to discuss expanding cooperation, particularly in natural gas and offshore exploration.

The talks coincided with Greece’s announcement that a consortium led by U.S. energy giant Chevron has submitted bids to explore for natural gas in Greek waters, including areas south of Crete. These zones lie near disputed maritime boundaries, and Athens has interpreted U.S. engagement as tacit support for its sovereignty claims.

Greece’s imports of U.S. liquefied natural gas have surged by 95% in the first half of this year, underscoring the growing role of American energy in the country’s supply mix. The move aligns with Washington’s push to offer allies alternative sources of energy, reducing the flow of funds to Moscow following the EU’s ban on most Russian crude imports.

Both nations see the partnership as a step toward greater energy security and geopolitical stability in the Eastern Mediterranean, with potential benefits for regional influence and economic growth.
