Trump picks his son’s fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle as US Ambassador to Greece

·

Donald Trump has announced Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host and fiancée of his eldest son Donald Trump Jr, as his nominee for US Ambassador to Greece.

In a statement, Trump described Guilfoyle as “a close friend and ally” and said she is “perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defence cooperation to trade and economic innovation.”

Guilfoyle, who has served as a campaign surrogate and fundraiser for Trump, accepted the nomination on social media, expressing her gratitude and stating, “I’m honoured to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next Ambassador to Greece and I look forward to earning the support of the US Senate.”

Her appointment, which requires Senate confirmation, would mark her first role in foreign diplomacy, having previously worked as a California prosecutor and television personality.

Guilfoyle’s nomination is part of a broader trend of Trump appointing loyalists and family members to key positions. Notably, Trump has also appointed Charles Kushner, father of son-in-law Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France, and Massad Boulos, father-in-law of daughter Tiffany Trump, as a Middle East adviser.

In 2020, allegations of sexual harassment were made against Guilfoyle by a former assistant, which were reported by The New Yorker. Guilfoyle left Fox News in 2017.
