白宫要求驻希腊大使吉尔福伊尔辞职,新任新闻秘书首场简报会宣布

美国白宫10月13日要求驻希腊大使金伯莉·吉尔福伊尔辞职。新任白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚在上任后的首场媒体简报会上宣布了这一决定:“我们已要求吉尔福伊尔大使辞职。她是团队的宝贵资产,祝她一切顺利。”
特朗普总统10月12日在白宫外对记者表示,正在考虑撤换吉尔福伊尔,称“我们对此不高兴”;13日再被问及此事时,他表示不喜欢自己读到的那些报道。此前《华尔街日报》连日报道吉尔福伊尔涉嫌不当行为:她在参议院确认听证前要求竞选金主埃里克·德特斯代付10万美元美国运通信用卡账单,并许诺动用与特朗普家族的关系为对方牟利;还被指收受希腊商人的奢华款待、把希腊建筑公司的说客带入官方会议。德特斯称这是明显的权钱交易。吉尔福伊尔的律师否认全部指控,对相关信息的真实性提出质疑,称所涉款项是她获得提名之前演讲与公开活动的报酬,并表示她遵守了联邦礼品申报规定。吉尔福伊尔本人13日在社交平台发文称指控不实、将全力捍卫自己的名誉,同时表示对特朗普及“美国优先”运动的忠诚不变。
吉尔福伊尔曾是福克斯新闻主播,是特朗普长子小唐纳德·特朗普的前未婚妻,也是加州州长纽森的前妻,2025年9月起出任驻希腊大使。希腊是美国在北约的重要盟友,在东地中海安全事务中地位关键,并牵头欧盟在红海的商船护航行动,此次人事变动备受外交界关注。
White House Asks Ambassador to Greece Guilfoyle to Resign, Announced at New Press Secretary's First Briefing
The White House on October 13 asked U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign. New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced the decision at her first media briefing: “We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.”
President Trump told reporters outside the White House on October 12 that he was considering removing Guilfoyle, saying, “We're not happy.” Asked about the matter again on October 13, he said he did not like what he had read. The Wall Street Journal had reported in recent days on alleged misconduct by Guilfoyle: before her Senate confirmation hearing, she asked campaign donor Eric Deters to pay a $100,000 American Express bill and offered to use her connections to the Trump family for his benefit; she was also said to have accepted lavish hospitality from Greek businessmen and to have brought a lobbyist for a Greek construction company into official meetings. Deters called it an obvious pay-to-play arrangement. Guilfoyle's lawyers denied all the allegations, questioned the authenticity of the messages, said the money was payment for speaking engagements and public appearances before her nomination, and said she complied with federal gift-reporting rules. Guilfoyle posted a statement on social media on October 13 calling the allegations false, saying she would vigorously defend her name, and affirming that her loyalty to Trump and the “America First” movement would never end.
Guilfoyle is a former Fox News host, the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., and the ex-wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom. She became ambassador to Greece in September 2025. Greece is an important U.S. ally in NATO, holds a key position in Eastern Mediterranean security, and leads an EU maritime mission protecting commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
