What happened

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright discussed U.S.-Greece energy cooperation on SKAI TV in Athens on November 7, 2025, in a segment the Department of Energy published on November 10, 2025. Wright said the arrival of Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle in Athens signals a new era in Greek-American energy relations, calling her the “1 gigawatt ambassador,” according to his remarks.

Wright said the United States is working under President Trump’s leadership to develop next-generation nuclear reactors that are smaller and suited to island communities, which he said could fit Greece well, as stated in the interview. He noted Greece’s historic role as a shipping powerhouse, and said a meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on energy cooperation is “a very real possibility” and “quite likely,” according to his remarks.

Why it matters

The interview positions Greece as a front-line partner in the administration’s energy diplomacy — shipping, next-generation nuclear, and AI cooperation — with a leader-level meeting floated as the next step.
