| President Obama today called on the new Greek government to enact structural reforms in order to win flexibility over its budget. During a press conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Obama praised Italy’s economic reforms, saying they were a model for Greece. Obama said that Greece needs to improve its tax collection, reduce its bureaucracy, and enact more flexible labor practices. He didn’t say when he would advocate those same reforms for the US. | |||||||
