Kimberly Guilfoyle, a close ally of President Donald J. Trump, is set to appear before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee on July 9, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., as part of her confirmation process to become the next U.S. Ambassador to Greece. Upon Senate confirmation, Trump is expected to officially appoint her as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America.
Amid reports in the Greek press suggesting a hold-up in her appointment, the U.S. State Department has issued a rare and direct rebuttal, categorically denying any such complications.
In an exclusive statement to TO BHMA and tovima.com correspondent Petros Kasfikis, a State Department spokesperson described the media claims as “inaccurate.”
“They are not accurate,” the spokesperson said. “The State Department looks forward to Kimberly Guilfoyle advancing the ‘America First’ agenda in foreign policy, in her role as U.S. Ambassador to Greece.”
Her appointment is seen as strategically significant, especially as U.S.–Greece relations evolve amid shifting geopolitical dynamics in the Eastern Mediterranean.
A former television personality and prominent figure in Trump’s political circle, Guilfoyle has been a vocal advocate for the administration’s priorities.
Her nomination by the new Trump administration earlier this year was widely viewed as a signal of strong political support, particularly after her appearance as an honored guest at a January event in Washington organized by leading figures of the Greek-American community.
