Guilfoyle, a lawyer with a career in international law and a previous stint as a prosecutor, was engaged to Don Jr., Trump\u2019s son, although the engagement has now ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump praised her experience and skills, highlighting her importance in strengthening bilateral relations with Greece, which is strategically important due to issues such as defense cooperation and the migration crisis. Guilfoyle was a supporter of Trump\u2019s election campaign and is expected to move to Athens to take up her new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kimberly Guilfoyle has a strong background in international law and politics and will be the first female ambassador to Greece for the United States.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Her appointment as ambassador to Greece is seen as strengthening US-Greece relations. However, she herself had previously referred to the Greeks as lazy in relation to the economic crisis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Donald Trump recognizes the value of this role in a strategically important region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guilfoyle is a close associate of Trump and a supporter of his election campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> What is Kimberly Guilfoyle&#8217;s career path?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kimberly Guilfoyle has served as a prosecutor in San Francisco and Los Angeles and has a career in media and international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> What are the responsibilities of an ambassador?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An ambassador represents his country abroad and promotes the diplomatic, economic, and political interests of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Why is the embassy position in Greece important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greece is strategically important to the US due to geopolitical issues in the Middle East and the migration crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. <\/strong>What is Guilfoyle&#8217;s relationship with the Trump family?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guilfoyle was the fianc\u00e9e of Don Jr., Trump&#8217;s son, and has close professional and personal ties to the Trump family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, the position of Ambassador to Greece is an important position. This position has been held by important figures such as Lincoln MacVeagh, to particularly cynical hawks such as Jeffrey Piatt. Greece is recognized by Western interest groups as an important geopolitical point. Something that Greek governments have tried to hide from the Greek people over time, talking about &#8220;small and weak Greece&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The position of Ambassador in our country is usually filled by a person who is an instrument of the American secret services and an important figure in the deep state, precisely for the above reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few exceptions to this rule have been made, such as the case of the Greek-American Tsounis, who seemed to work mainly for gay pride and touring taverns. In this light, the role of the new Ambassador will be quite easy compared to her predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We consider it particularly important that the position of Ambassador will not be held by a Greek-American. Something like this always raises false hopes of a milder American policy in the country. Something that the naive or the selfish certainly believe, and thus phenomena such as Minister Georgiadis, who had welcomed Tsounis with the indescribable phrase: &#8220;what joy you have given us, Leventis, I tell you the truth\u2026 I was thinking about the man I had met and now look where you are..&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice of Trump is certainly outside the norm of the deep state. It remains to be seen whether it will also be a diplomatic success or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate former Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle as ambassador to Greece.
