“Služiti kao ambasadorica Sjedinjenih Američkih Država u Grčkoj bila je čast mog života”, napisala je Guilfoyle na društvenoj mreži X, zahvalivši Trumpu i državnom tajniku Marcu Rubiju na pruženoj prilici.
Odbacila je optužbe za nepravilnosti koje su se posljednjih tjedana pojavile u američkim medijima.
“Te su optužbe lažne i namjeravam odlučno braniti svoje ime, ugled i integritet”, poručila je Guilfoyle, dodajući da neće dopustiti da takve tvrdnje obilježe desetljeća njezina rada u javnoj službi.
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.

Od Trumpova donatora navodno tražila 100.000 dolara
Njezina ostavka dolazi nakon niza otkrića Wall Street Journala o navodnom prihvaćanju luksuznih darova, putovanjima privatnim avionima na račun grčkih poslovnih ljudi i pogodovanju poslovnim interesima.
Među najozbiljnijim optužbama je ona da je od republikanskog donatora Erica Detersa tražila 100.000 dolara za podmirenje duga na kreditnoj kartici American Express, navodno mu zauzvrat nudeći pristup visokim dužnosnicima Trumpove administracije.
Američki mediji objavili su i tvrdnje zaposlenika veleposlanstva o njezinu ponašanju prema osoblju, uključujući slučaj u kojem je navodno tražila da joj član osiguranja u četiri sata ujutro donese led za piće.
CNN je jučer izvijestio da Ured glavnog inspektora State Departmenta istražuje optužbe protiv Guilfoyle. Njezini odvjetnici ranije su odbacili optužbe i tvrdili da je postupala u skladu s propisima.
Bijela kuća danas je potvrdila da je od nje zatražena ostavka. Trump je još jučer novinarima rekao da nije zadovoljan njezinim ponašanjem i da razmatra smjenu.
