Washington urges Athens to 'fully commit' to bailout talks


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. official urged Greece to "fully commit" to technical negotiations so that it can finalise economic reforms needed to unlock further bailout funds, a U.S. Treasury official said on Monday.

    Nathan Sheets, the Treasury's undersecretary for international affairs, sent the message in a meeting with Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis in Washington, the official said.
