The Greek economic crisis began in 2009 in the wake of the 2008 banking
crisis, which of course was a worldwide event. However, Greece suffered
more than any other European country because it was already heavily in
debt, thanks very largely to reckless borrowing encouraged by the EU and
its predecessors in previous years.

If I remember correctly, President Trump was elected in 2016, so to blame
him for this is frivolous.
