US Treasury Secretary on phone with Tsipras and Tsakalotos

US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew spoke with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and newly appointed Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos.

He said Washington looks forward to Athens and other parties resuming conversations toward resolving the Greek situation, a Treasury spokeswoman said.

Lew voiced hope such an outcome "will allow Greece to make difficult but necessary fiscal and structural reforms, return to growth, and achieve debt sustainability within the euro zone," the Treasury statement said, according to Reuters.
