'Transactional diplomacy': Greece positioning itself as Trump’s most 'reliable ally in the region'
François Picard is pleased to welcome Petros Konstantinidis, Journalist for TA NEA, Greece's leading daily newspaper, as a financial and investigative reporter. It has all the makings of a reality TV show or a telenovela, or both! “This is diplomacy under Trump turning into lifestyle diplomacy”, explains Konstantinidis.
US President Donald Trump revealed on Monday that he is contemplating removing the US ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle. The decision was prompted by a series of damaging allegations against her. Speaking at the White House, Trump expressed dissatisfaction and stated that they are conducting an investigation into the matter. According to US media reports, he is anticipated to make a final decision soon, likely within the coming week following the Columbus Day holiday.
The controversy surrounding Guilfoyle stems from a series of articles published in The Wall Street Journal. The reports highlight her alleged conduct, including making threats against a host country official, accepting inappropriate gifts and services, and proposing a deal for her personal legal matters in exchange for settling a substantial credit card debt.
Guilfoyle, who has been a prominent figure in Trump's MAGA movement and the ex-fiancée of Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has vehemently denied these accusations.
In response to the allegations, Guilfoyle's legal team submitted a statement asserting that she has properly followed procedures within the State Department, addressing the concerns raised regarding improper gift-taking and private air travel.
