President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday several important appointments for his future administration, including figures close to his entourage. Among them, Kimberly Guilfoyle, former Fox News presenter and ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., was appointed United States ambassador to Greece.
On his Truth Social network, Donald Trump praised his career and his skills. “For many years, Kimberly Guilfoyle has been a close friend and ally. Her extensive experience and leadership in the fields of law, media and politics, as well as her keen intelligence, make her highly qualified to represent the United States and safeguard its interests abroad. -he writes. Kimberly Guilfoyle, who also held a key role as head of Trump’s 2020 campaign finance, is a former prosecutor in San Francisco.
A desire to surround oneself with faithful people
Another important appointment, Thomas Barrack, a long-time advisor to Donald Trump, was chosen as ambassador to Türkiye. Thomas Barrack led the organizing committee for the presidential inauguration in 2017 and advised senior officials on US policy in the Middle East. Although he was indicted in 2021 for undeclared lobbying in favor of the UAE, he was acquitted in 2022, removing obstacles to this appointment.
All these appointments will have to be approved by the Senate now controlled by a Republican majority, which could facilitate their validation. They also mark Donald Trump’s desire to surround himself with loyal allies to represent the interests of the United States abroad.
