Mr Samaras is keen to secure US approval for stimulus policies for Greece’s recession-hit economy, in contrast to the austerity emphasis preferred by many of its European partners, most notably Germany. US vice president Joe Biden said America had ‘a stake’ in Greece’s economic recovery and wanted the crisis-hit nation to stay in the eurozone. ‘The administration has always taken the view that it’s overwhelmingly in our interest to have Greece remain a strong and vital part of the eurozone,’ he said.”
