US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle asked to resign, White House says

Greece has been an important NATO ally to the United States, offering key military facilities to safeguard security in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The White House has requested that US Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, resign, according to a statement by White House press secretary Katie Zacharia. President Donald Trump had previously expressed dissatisfaction with Guilfoyle's performance, stating that they were not happy with her. Legal concerns have been raised over allegations that Guilfoyle may have used her influence to undermine the Greek government.

Despite these issues, Greece remains a crucial NATO ally to the United States, providing significant military facilities to ensure security in the Eastern Mediterranean. Additionally, Greece leads an EU maritime mission to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
