A Historic First for U.S.–Greece Diplomacy
Ambassador Guilfoyle is breaking new ground as the first woman to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Hellenic Republic. Her confirmation (51–47) reflects the administration’s commitment to elevating U.S.–Greece relations at a critical time for the Eastern Mediterranean.
The U.S. Embassy in Athens celebrated her swearing-in, noting that her appointment reflects “a deep commitment to strengthening ties between the United States and Greece.”

U.S.–Greece Relations Under Trump’s Leadership
Greece has long been a reliable ally of the United States, and under Trump’s foreign policy strategy, the partnership is expected to strengthen in areas such as.
