Former President Donald Trump has dismissed the United States ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, following reports of professional misconduct. The decision to remove the ambassador from her post comes amid an ongoing ethics scandal that has prompted significant scrutiny regarding her conduct while representing the United States abroad.
Reports regarding the nature of the termination vary slightly in their characterization of the departure. While some accounts state that the ambassador was explicitly fired from her position, other reports indicate that the former president requested her resignation as the ethics investigation unfolded.

The administration has not yet announced a successor to fill the vacancy left by the departure. The situation remains a developing story as officials address the implications of the misconduct allegations and the sudden change in diplomatic leadership.
