US Presidents do not normally meet and chat with finance ministers. However US President Barack Obama broke the protocol and had an informal chat with Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis during a reception hosted at the White House in order to honor Greece’ Independence Day. Certainly a powerful gesture of solidarity with debt-riden and cornered Greece. Surrounded by journalists and reception guests at a discrete distance, Obama and Varoufakis talked with each other for whole 12 minutes.
