Guilfoyle’s nomination will require Senate confirmation.

Following the official announcements from Donald Trump, Guilfoyle wrote on social media:

President Trump’s historic victory brings hope and optimism to the American people and freedom-loving allies around the world.

It was the democratic values born in Greece that helped shape the founding of America.

And now, we have the opportunity to honor that history by bringing better days here at home and abroad.

As Ambassador, I look forward to implementing Trump’s agenda, supporting our Greek allies, and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.”
