The 3+1 Initiative Amidst Great Power Competition
German Marshall Fund
Moderator: As you said, as the Prime Minister has said, the aim is for Greece to be a country of calm stability and therefore, we are committed to strong cooperation, and as you said, we need friends. And as we need friends, we need the United States. Therefore, I’m moving on to U.S. Ambassador Mr. Geoffrey Pyatt, who is following closely these developments in the Eastern Mediterranean.
I would like to ask Mr. Ambassador, Mr. Pyatt, what does this 3+1 Greece agreement mean for the United States? Why does it matter to the United States, the East Mediterranean?

We’ve been exploring the state of retirement in the United States on
The Long View. Last week, we talked with progressive labor economist Teresa Ghilarducci. On this week’s episode, we chatted with Andrew Biggs, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He is more sanguine about the state of retirement in the U.S., though he is also in favor of some reforms. Andrew is an expert on Social Security reform, state and local government pensions, and public sector pay and benefits. Before joining AEI, Biggs was the principal deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration, where he oversaw the agency s policy research efforts. In 2005, as an associate director of the White House National Economic Council, he worked on Social Security reform. In 2001, he joined the staff of then-President George W. Bush s Commission to Strengthen Social Security. He holds a bachelor s degree from Queen s University Belfast in Northern Ireland, master s degrees from Cambridge Uni
