U.S.-Greece Defense and Interparliamentary Partnership Act of 2021

The U.S.-Greece Defense and Interparliamentary Partnership Act of 2021 is a bipartisan bill designed to strengthen the military and strategic relationship between the United States and Greece. If enacted, it would authorize $1.8 million annually through 2026 for international military training and provide financial assistance to help Greece modernize its defense systems and transition away from Russian-made equipment.

For everyday citizens, the bill’s impact is primarily focused on international security and regional stability in the Eastern Mediterranean. By expediting the sale of advanced F-35 fighter jets to Greece and establishing a formal group of lawmakers from the U.S., Greece, Israel, and Cyprus to coordinate on energy and maritime security, the legislation aims to secure a key NATO ally and protect American interests in a strategically important part of the world.
