U.S. Ambassador to Greece | Personal account

[Kimberly Guilfoyle @kimguilfoyle]

Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world.

From my first day as Ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece, and deliver meaningful victories for the American people.

During my tenure, we have helped secure historic agreements to expand American liquefied natural gas exports to Europe, advanced the Vertical Corridor to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy, strengthened our defense and security partnership with a critical NATO ally, and expanded opportunities for American businesses and investment throughout the region.

I am especially proud of the role our Embassy has played in strengthening American energy dominance, advancing economic cooperation, and ensuring that the United States remains the indispensable leader in Southeast Europe.

These accomplishments are a testament to President Trump’s bold leadership, Secretary Rubio’s commitment to American diplomacy, and the extraordinary men and women who serve our country every day.

I also want to address the recent allegations against me. These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service.

My gratitude and respect for President Trump and Secretary Rubio remain unwavering. I am proud of what we accomplished together, and I will always be a loyal supporter of President Trump and his mission to Make America Great Again.

While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the United States of America. My deepest heartfelt appreciation to the people of Greece for their hospitality, partnership, and welcoming me with open arms. God bless President Trump, God bless our incredible diplomats and service members, and God bless the United States of America.

I had wonderful evening with my dear friend Ambassador Jorge Domecq @EmbEspAtenas celebrating Spain’s National Day! The U.S. greatly values our deep transatlantic alliance and enduring partnership with Spain and Greece as we work together for regional peace and security. ¡Feliz Fiesta Nacional! 🇺🇸🇪🇸🇬🇷

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

We believe that the West can awaken from its long slumber – and rekindle the fire that was first lit in ancient Greece millennia ago.

[Kimberly Guilfoyle @kimguilfoyle]

@SecRubio delivered a powerful warning from the Acropolis, the perfect backdrop at the birthplace of Western civilization: The West must defend its culture before it disappears. 🇺🇸🇬🇷

Our history, culture and civilization must be protected.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: We must rebuild our institutions and our alliances to face these threats together – understanding that the purpose of these things is not to abolish the sovereignty of the nations that constitute them, but is to defend them. And that nations need not abandon their distinct identities in order to recognize their common interests.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: We have built a model of that with our partners here in Greece. In our defense partnerships, in energy and technology, in our shared ambition to secure Europe’s borders from the threats of mass migration.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: We should marvel at what our forefathers carved out of this countryside. The story of our civilization is the greatest story ever known to man. And it began here, with the first men and women of the West. From them, from them we can rediscover the virtues, the courage, and the strength to confront the dangers that we face in our time.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: For a bracing and timely antidote, we recommend Marco Rubio’s speech Wednesday at the Acropolis in Greece. It’s the speech of the year by our lights.

Today, the United States and Greece reaffirmed our commitment to strengthening our longstanding defense and security cooperation.

We finalized Greece’s partnership with Florida through the National Guard State Partnership Program, further advancing a key NATO alliance.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Our Mission Greece team is doing great work to advance America’s mission.

As America marks 250 years of independence, we are proud to call Greece, the birthplace of democracy, an ally, partner, and friend.

[Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle @USAmbassadorGR]

Welcome to Athens, @SecRubio! 🇺🇸🇬🇷
It is an honor to welcome Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Greece as he leads the U.S. delegation for the Sixth U.S.-Greece Strategic Dialogue. His visit underscores the strength of our alliance and our shared commitment to advancing @POTUS’s priorities, including defense cooperation, trade and investment, and energy cooperation.
The U.S.-Greece partnership has never been stronger, and together we are building an even more secure and prosperous future for both our nations and the region.

[U.S. Embassy Athens @USEmbassyAthens]

“Ambassador Guilfoyle has been an incredibly effective advocate for the President’s agenda in Greece and across Europe. President Trump and I greatly value the Ambassador’s pivotal work and leadership in the region. She has successfully advanced U.S. energy interests in Greece and across southeastern Europe through regional projects like the bipartisan Vertical Energy Corridor.” - Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio

[Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle @USAmbassadorGR]

Trusted technology partnerships will define the future. I was honored to meet with Minister Dimitris Papastergiou to discuss opportunities for the United States and Greece to collaborate to advance our shared technology goals—from the groundbreaking Daedalus supercomputer to satellites and space exploration. U.S.-Greece cooperation in super intelligence, cybersecurity, and space has never been stronger.

[Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle @USAmbassadorGR]

We're looking forward to welcoming you to Greece, Mr. Secretary! Under your leadership, we are bringing the United States-Greece relationship to new heights! 🇺🇸 🇬🇷

[Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle @USAmbassadorGR]

It was wonderful to join Ambassador Tigran Mkrtchyan, colleagues, and friends to celebrate Armenia’s Independence Day here in Greece! As Secretary Rubio has said, in the coming years we anticipate deepening the partnership between our two nations. 🇺🇸 🇦🇲 🇬🇷

[Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle @USAmbassadorGR]

I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of four American citizens in yesterday’s explosion in central Athens. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and the loved ones of those killed and injured in this horrific incident. Our hearts are with them during this difficult time. I extend my deepest appreciation to the Greek first responders who worked tirelessly at the scene. The U.S. Embassy is providing consular assistance and support to the victims’ families.

[Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle @USAmbassadorGR]

I spent an unforgettable evening celebrating Czechia's National Day with Ambassador Ivo Šilhavý. As two steadfast NATO Allies, we remain united in our shared commitment to freedom, prosperity, and security. 🇺🇸 🇨🇿

[Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle @USAmbassadorGR]

It was an honor to meet with my fellow Quadrilateral Security Dialogue ambassadors @AusAmbAthens Alison Duncan, @EmbIndiaAthens Ravi Shankar, and @JapaninAthens Koichi Ito. Advancing our shared priorities related to the Indo-Pacific means freedom of navigation and energy security for all our partners. 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 🇮🇳 🇯🇵

[Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle @USAmbassadorGR]

On the eve of Constitution Day, I was proud to join @cultureGR Minister Lina Mendoni, and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens @ASCSAthens to launch “Making Democracy in Greece and America,” an educational exhibition that will travel to @AmericanSpaces across Greece to celebrate the democratic ideals and enduring friendship that unite our two nations. There could be no more fitting place than the Ancient Agora, the birthplace of democracy, to launch this exhibit and celebrate 250 years of American independence! #Freedom250 🇺🇸🇬🇷
