The United States supports efforts to resolve a disagreement on the name issue between Athens and Skopje and stands by the decision NATO made at its 2008 summit in Bucharest, a Pentagon spokesperson has said after talks in Washington between US Defense Secretary James Mattis and his counterpart from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Radmila Shekerinska.

In a statement summarizing the meeting, Pentagon spokesperson Dana White said Mattis and Shekerinska discussed the pending name issue with Greece, which has prevented FYROM's accession to NATO.

​The United States supports efforts to resolve this issue, White said, and stands by the decision NATO made at its 2008 summit in Bucharest, Romania, the statement said.
