A senior U.S. official reported Sunday that President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are "extremely pissed off" by allegations surrounding U.S. ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle. The officials are said to be weighing the possibility of removing her from her post.
The reports allege that Guilfoyle engaged in improper and potentially illegal conduct both before and during her tenure in Athens. No specific details of the alleged actions were disclosed in the briefing.
Trump and Rubio are expected to decide on any disciplinary action this week, following the upcoming federal holiday on Monday. The decision could come as part of a broader effort to address concerns about diplomatic conduct.
Why It Matters
The potential removal of a U.S. ambassador highlights internal tensions over diplomatic standards and could affect U.S.-Greek relations.
