Kimberly Guilfoyle forced to resign as US Ambassador to Greece

Stormy developments at the US Embassy in Athens: Ambassador, Kimberly Guilfoyle, resigned from her post as US Ambassador to Greece on Tuesday afternoon

Prior to the resignation of the controversial ambassador, there was a public statement by the new White House Press Secretary, Katie Zakaria, who said on Tuesday morning (US time): “We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign, and we wish her the best.”

This development comes just one day after public statements by US President Donald Trump, who had left open the possibility of her removal from Athens, expressing his dissatisfaction.

57-year-old Guilfoyle, a former fiance of Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr, came to negative spotlight two weeks ago with allegations hinting to improper and possibly illegal conduct before and during her tenure in Athens.

Negative US media reports against Guilfoyle included: flights with private jets of Greek tycoons,

Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world. From my first day as Ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece, and deliver meaningful victories for the American people. During my tenure, we have helped secure historic agreements to expand American liquefied natural gas exports to Europe, advanced the Vertical Corridor to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy, strengthened our defense and security partnership with a critical NATO ally, and expanded opportunities for American businesses and investment throughout the region. I am especially proud of the role our Embassy has played in strengthening American energy dominance, advancing economic cooperation, and ensuring that the United States remains the indispensable leader in Southeast Europe. These accomplishments are a testament to President Trump’s bold leadership, Secretary Rubio’s commitment to American diplomacy, and the extraordinary men and women who serve our country every day. I also want to address the recent allegations against me. These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service. My gratitude and respect for President Trump and Secretary Rubio remain unwavering. I am proud of what we accomplished together, and I will always be a loyal supporter of President Trump and his mission to Make America Great Again. While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end. It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the United States of America. My deepest heartfelt appreciation to the people of Greece for their hospitality, partnership, and welcoming me with open arms. God bless President Trump, God bless our incredible diplomats and service members, and God bless the United States of America.

There is also no comment so far by the Greek government for the “unprecedented forced resignation” of a US ambassador to a EU country.

On social media, ordinary Greeks comment with lots of irony about the “Glam Ambassador” who hardly made it a years in her post.

The well-known Greek toadies are rigorously deleting their pictures and selfies with Guilfoyle the had posted full of proud and boast on social media.
