U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned from her post following a White House request, while vowing to fight recent misconduct allegations. The decision came shortly after the administration asked her to step down, citing an ongoing investigation by the State Department’s Office of Inspector General into financial and workplace conduct issues.
Guilfoyle took to X to defend her tenure, calling the allegations false and expressing her commitment to President Donald Trump. “Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime,” she wrote. “These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity.”
The White House’s request for her resignation followed an investigation into financial and workplace conduct allegations, which her legal team has repeatedly denied. Despite the administration’s move to replace her, Guilfoyle remained steadfast in her support for Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, emphasizing her unwavering commitment to the “America First” movement.
Guilfoyle highlighted several key diplomatic and economic achievements during her time in Athens, including historic agreements expanding American liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Europe, advancing energy initiatives to reduce reliance on Russia, and strengthening defense ties with NATO. She expressed gratitude for her role in these efforts, stating that her dedication to U.S. interests would never wane.
Her resignation marks a significant moment in the ongoing scrutiny of U.S. diplomatic appointments, as the White House continues to address ethical concerns. The situation remains under review, with further details expected as the investigation unfolds.
