US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle resigns amid misconduct allegations and Romania controversy

United States Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned from her post on Tuesday, October 13, following allegations of misconduct. The departure comes amid reports that Guilfoyle pressured Romania and other Balkan nations to purchase liquefied natural gas from the United States through Greek intermediaries via the Vertical Corridor project.

While reports indicate the resignation follows these allegations, accounts differ regarding the nature of her departure. Guilfoyle has publicly denied the claims of improper conduct, describing her tenure as the honor of a lifetime, while other reports characterize the exit as an ousting initiated by the Trump administration.
