(Patria) - Newly elected US President Donald Trump has chosen Kimberly Guilfoyle, former Fox News host, as the new US ambassador to Greece and Tom Barrack, chairman of his 2016 inaugural committee, as ambassador to Turkey, Reuters reported.
Guilfoyle has been engaged to Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. since December 31, 2020.
"For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. She is "perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation," he said.
Guilfoyle is not the first appointee with family ties. In November, Trump announced plans to appoint his son-in-law Jared Kushner's father, Charles Kushner, as ambassador to France and to appoint Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of his youngest daughter Tiffany Trump, as senior advisor for Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
Trump's choice for ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, is a longtime friend of the newly elected Republican president. He is a private sector executive. He was previously charged with illegally acting as an agent of the United Arab Emirates and was acquitted of all nine counts he faced in 2022.
Trump called Barrack a "valued and experienced voice of reason" in his post announcing the appointment.
