US Eyes Piraeus to Counter China in Emerging Trade Corridors

As the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) takes shape, the Eastern Mediterranean is fast becoming the fulcrum of global maritime geopolitics.

At the heart of this strategic shift lies Greece’s port of Piraeus, which now seems under intense scrutiny and pressure from the United States and its allies.

According to Greek media, US interest in the port of Piraeus, along with the ports of Thessaloniki and Alexandroupoli, has intensified significantly, reflecting Washington’s broader ambition to rebalance influence in the region.
