  "summary": "During her first official press briefing on Tuesday, October 13, new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia discussed a South Korean energy investment package worth up to $200 billion announced by President Donald Trump. Zacharia stated the deal includes $120 billion for eight large-scale nuclear power plants, $54 billion for an Alaska liquefied natural gas project, and $22.3 billion for a natural gas power facility in Texas. However, South Korea’s industry ministry noted the Alaska project is not yet finalized and requires further review of its commercial viability.\n\nIn the same briefing, Zacharia announced that the administration has asked U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign. This follows comments from President Trump on Monday regarding his dissatisfaction with Guilfoyle. According to the Hindustan Times - World News, Zacharia's briefing also included praise for President Trump and the promotion of upcoming Republican midterm election rallies.\n\nCBS News reports that questions are currently rising regarding Zacharia’s legal credentials and the location where she took her bar exam.",
