VisitTrump Nominates Guilfoyle for Greece Amid Relationship Speculation
Dec 12, 2024, 05:39 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor and media personality, as the next U.S. ambassador to Greece. This announcement came amid speculation about her relationship with Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., with whom she was engaged. The nomination has stirred controversy due to Guilfoyle's past comments on Greek citizens, describing them as 'freeloaders' who should work harder during the Greek government debt crisis in 2015. Despite these remarks, Trump praised Guilfoyle's extensive experience in law, media, and politics, stating she is 'perfectly suited' to advance U.S. interests in Greece, focusing on defense cooperation, trade, and economic innovation. Greece, a key NATO ally, faces challenges including economic recovery, a migrant crisis, and environmental issues.
