Former Fox News host and Trump ally Kimberly Guilfoyle takes up position as US ambassador to Greece | Fortune
"I know we will do amazing things for these two exceptional countries,"
"I will not disappoint the United States of America. I shall not disappoint Greece."
Kimberly Guilfoyle was sworn in Sept. 29 in Washington and presented her diplomatic credentials to Greek President Constantine Tassoulas, becoming the first U.S. female ambassador to Greece. Her arrival coincides with U.S. efforts to boost liquefied natural gas exports to eastern Europe through Greek ports. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum are expected in Athens to discuss expanding Western gas exports to Ukraine via a modified multinational pipeline network. Guilfoyle is scheduled to meet Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and attend Atlantic Council-organized ministerial meetings. U.S.-Greece military ties have strengthened since 2018, with expanded U.S. access to Greek bases and increased U.S. defense involvement. Guilfoyle attended a black-tie welcome reception in Athens, joined local business leaders and Cabinet members, and danced in a traditional Greek circle. At the credential ceremony, she presented credentials after the new ambassadors from Norway and Canada.
