Trump Asks US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to Resign

What the report says

US President Donald Trump has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US ambassador to Greece, to resign after reports alleged she sought help paying a large credit card bill from a donor in exchange for access to his administration. The Nile Post reported that the allegations, which Guilfoyle denies, were confirmed publicly by White House press secretary Katie Zacharia during her first briefing with reporters.

Trump said Guilfoyle had done a good job in Greece but indicated he was troubled by what he had read in the press. Guilfoyle, who was previously engaged to Donald Trump Jr., rejected the accusations and said she would defend her name and reputation. In a statement posted on X, she said her time as ambassador may be ending, but her support for Trump and his political movement would continue.

The dispute adds to earlier scrutiny around Guilfoyle’s diplomatic role. According to the Nile Post’s account, The Wall Street Journal had previously reported on comments she was said to have made at a dinner in Athens about US influence over foreign governments, including Greece. Her lawyer disputed that account, and Greek officials also denied that their government had been threatened.

The episode matters because it raises questions about ethics in diplomatic appointments and the use of political influence abroad. It also places renewed attention on US-Greece relations and Guilfoyle’s short tenure in Athens, though the underlying claims remain contested.
