It is in everyone's interests to
avert a Grexit and return Greece to sustainable growth, the
White House said Monday after talks with France.
US President Barack Obama and French President Francois
Hollande discussed the Greek debt crisis by telephone and agreed
it was important to put together a package of reforms for Greece
to return to sustainable growth, the White House said.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said achieving that goal
"is in the interests of all parties at the negotiating table."
Greece closed its banks on Monday after bailout talks
between the country's government and foreign lenders broke down
over the weekend and the European Central Bank froze vital
funding support to Greece's banks.
