Trump and Rubio Weigh Firing US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle
Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are considering the dismissal of Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US ambassador to Greece, following concerns over her conduct. A senior official revealed that both leaders are "extremely p***** off" about her reported behavior, prompting an investigation by the State Department's Office of the Inspector General. Rubio is notably upset, especially after his recent visit to Athens where Guilfoyle participated in most of his events. Allegations of improper and potentially illegal actions have emerged, with a decision on her fate expected later this week after the Columbus Day holiday.
