White House asks US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign
The White House press secretary said Guilfoyle had been asked to resign. No successor has yet been announced.
Latest update — 19:09: White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, that the US administration had asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as US ambassador to Greece.
The official wording marks a substantial change from Donald Trump's statement one day earlier, when he said the administration was merely considering her removal.
What is confirmed
The White House publicly confirmed that Guilfoyle was asked to resign. Reuters and ERT reported the same announcement. Guilfoyle responded that she considers the published allegations false and that she will defend her name and integrity.
The reports about her conduct remain allegations and are not presented as proven facts.
What has not yet been announced
At the time of this update, no successor or timetable for a change at the US Embassy in Athens had been announced. The resignation request is an official White House political decision, but it is not in itself an announcement of a new ambassador.
AppiSToS will update this same article when there is an official announcement on the end of her tenure and the interim or permanent succession.
