Greek officials are appealing to President Donald Trump to help broker an agreement with Britain over the return of parts of the Parthenon to Greece. The proposal places the long-running cultural heritage dispute at the center of a broader diplomatic conversation.

A senior Greek official described the issue as a historic opportunity for Trump, arguing that assistance in bringing the Parthenon pieces back to Athens could secure a lasting legacy. Greek officials characterize the objects as having been taken from their country, while Britain remains central to discussions over their future.

The appeal highlights the symbolic importance of the Parthenon to Greece and presents a possible agreement as a major gesture involving two Western allies. Any progress would depend on negotiations between Greek and British representatives, with Trump being urged to support the effort.
