The White House announced on Tuesday that it had asked US Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, to resign, calling her a valuable team member. This statement came after President Donald Trump indicated on Monday that he might fire her due to dissatisfaction.
Concerns had been raised by US lawmakers about allegations that Guilfoyle threatened to misuse US influence against the Greek government. The US Embassy in Athens did not respond to requests for comment regarding Guilfoyle. Greece is a vital NATO ally for the US, providing military support and leading an EU maritime mission in the Red Sea.
