Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. Ambassador to Greece on October 14, 2026, after the White House publicly asked her to step down amid allegations that she accepted improper gifts while serving in the role.
The White House made its request on October 13, 2026, according to NPR. The resignation followed a period of mounting accusations of improper conduct that had preceded the administration's public move against her.
The Financial Times reported that Donald Trump said on October 12, 2026, that he was considering dismissing Guilfoyle, describing his position as "looking at" firing her. Reports of alleged misconduct had surfaced before Trump made those public statements.
