Ικανοποίηση επικρατεί στο στρατόπεδο της Κυβέρνησης όχι μόνο για την επίσκεψη του Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη στις ΗΠΑ αλλά και για τον απόηχο της ιστορικής ομιλίας του στο Κογκρέσο, όπου ο έλληνας πρωθυπουργός ανάγκασε τους Γερουσιαστές να σηκωθούν αρκετές φορές από τα έδρανά τους για να τον χειροκροτήσουν.
Μάλιστα, μετά το τέλος της ομιλίας τού κ. Μητσοτάκη, κάποιοι έσπευσαν να φωτογραφηθούν μαζί του, άλλοι έκαναν αναρτήσεις στο twitter αποθεώνοντας το περιεχόμενο της ομιλίας του, ενώ υπήρξε και κάποιος που του ζήτησε αυτόγραφο!

Aristotle’s Rhetoric taught us that the ethos, logos, & pathos are the key elements of persuasion. @PrimeministerGR’s historic speech to a joint session of Congress perfectly exemplified it. He inspired us all on the need to defend democracy & the rules based international order. pic.twitter.com/O8ai5lfgtj

The Greek prime minister’s address was the best speech I’ve heard as a member of Congress.
He said that Greeks and Americans are custodians of democracy — we must stand up to disinformation and threats from within that cripple our institutions. pic.twitter.com/cWNkq7viES

It was an honor to meet Greek PM @PrimeministerGR & his family today alongside @CALtGovernor.

Great to meet with PM Mitsotakis! His joint session was inspiring. Greece is continuing its strong history of defending democracy in its support of Ukraine. I look forward to future conversations about how the 🇺🇸 & 🇬🇷 can work together to advance European energy diversification. pic.twitter.com/xyu95OMH4c

Οι κυβερνητικές πηγές επισημαίνουν πως ο πρωθυπουργός, αξιοποίησε την ευκαιρία -που για πρώτη φορά δόθηκε σε Έλληνα πρωθυπουργό- για να παρουσιάσει την εικόνα μιας σύγχρονης δημοκρατικής χώρας, που διαδραματίζει ηγετικό ρόλο στην περιοχή.
