In a move that has raised eyebrows across political circles, Kimberly Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr, has been sworn in as an honorary ambassador for Greece following her lavish wedding celebrations on the island of Mykonos.
A Surprise Diplomatic Role
The former Fox News host and prominent Trump family supporter was officially appointed during a ceremony that took place shortly after her high-profile Greek island wedding to Donald Trump Jr. The appointment comes as part of Greece's efforts to strengthen cultural and economic ties with international figures.
Guilfoyle, who serves as the head of the Trump campaign's finance committee, now holds the title of Honorary Ambassador of the Hellenic Republic, a position that typically involves promoting Greek culture, tourism, and business interests abroad.
Wedding Festivities Turn Diplomatic
The timing of the appointment has drawn attention, coming immediately after the couple's extravagant wedding celebrations that spanned several days in Mykonos. The ceremony was attended by numerous high-profile guests from political and media circles, though details of the actual swearing-in ceremony remain relatively private.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Guilfoyle's new role will focus primarily on promoting Greek-American relations and highlighting investment opportunities in Greece's growing economy.
Mixed Reactions from Political Observers
The appointment has generated mixed reactions, with some questioning the appropriateness of granting diplomatic titles to political figures without traditional diplomatic experience. Supporters, however, argue that Guilfoyle's high profile and connections could significantly benefit Greek interests internationally.
This isn't the first time honorary diplomatic positions have been awarded to celebrities and public figures, though the timing and circumstances surrounding this particular appointment have made it particularly noteworthy in political circles.
The development comes as Greece continues to strengthen its international partnerships and boost its tourism industry following recent economic challenges. How Guilfoyle will balance her political commitments with her new diplomatic role remains to be seen.
