U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Kimberly Guilfoyle as ambassador to Greece and Tom Barrack as ambassador to Türkiye, highlighting their roles in strengthening bilateral relations with key international partners.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has named Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News presenter turned political fundraiser, as the incoming U.S. ambassador to Greece, while Tom Barrack, who chaired his 2016 inaugural committee, will serve as ambassador to Türkiye.
Guilfoyle has been engaged to Donald Trump Jr., the president-elect’s son, since 31 December 2020.
"For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally," Trump shared on the social media platform Truth Social. He described her as "perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defence cooperation to trade and economic innovation."
Guilfoyle’s appointment is not the first selection involving family connections.
In November, Trump announced his intention to nominate Charles Kushner, father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France, while Massad Boulos, father-in-law to his youngest daughter Tiffany Trump, was named a senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern matters.
Tom Barrack, chosen as ambassador to Türkiye, is a long-time associate of the president-elect and a private equity executive. Barrack was previously charged with unlawfully acting as an agent of the United Arab Emirates but was acquitted of all nine counts in 2022.
Trump referred to Barrack as a "well-respected and experienced voice of reason" in his announcement of the appointment.
