Trump Considers Kimberly Guilfoyle for US Ambassador to Greece
CBS News reports that President-elect Donald Trump is contemplating appointing Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor and Fox News television host, as the new US Ambassador to Greece. Three sources familiar with the selection process have confirmed this information to CBS News. Senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs tweeted that Trump is seriously considering Guilfoyle for the ambassadorial position, as confirmed by CBS News Political Director Fin Gomez.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, is known not only for her legal career but also for her role as a political fundraiser. Currently, she is engaged to Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Donald Trump, since December 31, 2020. Interestingly, Guilfoyle has been previously married twice, one of whom is Gavin Newsom, the Democratic Governor of California.
The potential selection of Guilfoyle indicates a trend where personal relationships may play a significant role in political appointments under the Trump administration. Her strong connections within the Republican Party and media landscape could either bolster or challenge the diplomatic mission if confirmed.
As the appointment decisions unfold, it remains to be seen how Guilfoyle’s past and her relationship with Donald Trump Jr. will influence her tenure should she be appointed. This potential move raises questions about the intersection of politics and personal affiliations, a common theme in recent administrations.
