“And now, we have an opportunity to honor that history by bringing better days here at home and abroad,” Guilfoyle continued. “As ambassador, I look forward to delivering on the Trump agenda, supporting our Greek allies, and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.”
A source familiar with the nomination told The Daily Mail, “There were a ton of people vying for this. It is one of the hottest posts in the world,’ said a source familiar with the president-elect’s thinking. Not just because it’s an amazing place place to live, but because it’s a hotbed of activity with everything that is happening in Syria, throughout the middle east, and the migrant crisis.”
