U.S. President Donald Trump reposted an interview with Greek Migration and Asylum Minister Thanos Plevris on Truth Social, placing Greece's hardline immigration policy directly in front of the American president's massive online audience.
The interview, published by Breitbart News, focused on Greece's approach to illegal migration, border enforcement, and the broader European shift toward stricter controls. Trump's decision to share it signals a clear political alignment between Washington's immigration agenda and what Athens has been pushing on its own borders.
Plevris has been an open admirer of Trump's migration policies, previously stating that Greece's tougher enforcement approach would have been considerably harder to implement without the wider international shift that Trump's return to the White House helped accelerate. He credited the change in global political climate for giving European governments more room to act.
The repost gives Athens international visibility at a moment when Greece has made border deterrence and tougher treatment of irregular migrants a central policy focus. It also fits Trump's broader message that governments worldwide are converging on more restrictive immigration stances.
Migration remains one of the most politically charged issues across Europe right now, with governments under pressure from their own populations to clamp down on irregular arrivals and strengthen external borders. Greece has positioned itself as one of the continent's more aggressive enforcers of that approach.
Trump amplifying a Greek minister's interview on his own platform is a rare moment of direct U.S. presidential attention on Greek domestic policy, and Plevris' message is now reaching an audience of millions who likely had no idea Greece was taking this position.
