El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, cesó a su embajadora en Grecia, Kimberly Guilfoyle, tras las polémicas revelaciones publicadas en los últimos días por la prensa sobre comportamientos inadecuados, anunció este martes la Casa Blanca.
"Hemos pedido a la embajadora Guilfoyle que dimita. Ha sido un gran activo para el equipo y le deseamos lo mejor", declaró la nueva portavoz de la Casa Blanca, Katie Zacharia, en su primera rueda de prensa desde que asumió el cargo el lunes.
El propio Trump dijo el lunes a los periodistas que estaba estudiando destituirla y que estaba decepcionado con Guilfoyle, quien estuvo prometida con su hijo mayor, Donald Trump Jr., antes de ser nombrada embajadora.

Después del anuncio, Guilfoyle emitió un comunicado en el que declaró que ha sido "un honor" ser embajadora, agradeció la confianza de Trump y se defendió de las acusaciones en su contra.
Según audios publicados por The Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle habría presumido de que empresarios griegos le pagaban viajes de lujo y habría prometido un trato privilegiado a un empresario estadounidense a cambio de que consiguiera una invitación para una cena en honor a Eric Trump, tercer hijo del mandatario.
El mismo diario publicó días antes que Guilfoyle habría pedido a un donante republicano que saldara una deuda de 100 mil dólares de su tarjeta de crédito antes de su audiencia de confirmación en el Senado, en julio de 2025, a cambio de facilitarle acceso a la Casa Blanca.
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.
