Kimberly Guilfoyle on Tuesday announced her resignation as President Donald Trump’s Ambassador to Greece, amid a deluge of negative press including allegations that she asked a political donor to handle her $100,000 personal American Express bill.
“Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime,” Guilfoyle wrote in a lengthy statement posted to X. “From my first day as Ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece. Additionally, deliver meaningful victories for the American people.”

Guilfoyle’s announcement came soon after Katie Zacharia, the White House’s new press secretary, confirmed at her first briefing that Trump had asked for the resignation of Guilfoyle.
