“We can do this to any country we want,” Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump's ambassador to Greece, allegedly told a Greek minister.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump's ambassador to Greece, allegedly said of toppling governments: “We can do it here too.”

Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump’s ambassador to Greece, has resigned.
Her farewell statement lays bare the bigger story: how American exporters and Greek capital collude to make ordinary households foot the bill for their new energy order. jacobin.com/2026/10/greece-g…
