Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, has been nominated as a United States diplomat, a day after he was seen holding hands with Florida socialite Bettina Anderson.
On Tuesday, Dec. 10, Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Guilfoyle had been nominated as the U.S. ambassador to Greece.’
According to Path to Foreign Service, “Ambassadors are the highest-ranking diplomats appointed by their government to represent their country in a specific foreign country or international organization. They serve as the official spokesperson for their government and act as a direct link between their country’s leadership and the receiving country or organization.”
The announcement was made a day after Daily Mail obtained photos of Don Jr. and Anderson holding hands during a nighttime walk around Palm Beach, Fla., on Monday, Dec. 9. The outlet reports the pair were celebrating Anderson’s birthday.
While neither party has publicly commented on the photos, Trump said he nominated Guilfoyle, who has been engaged to Don Jr. since 2020, to her new role as she’s been “a close friend and ally” for “many years.”
The president-elect called the former assistant district attorney and Fox News host “perfectly suited” to foster “strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.”
“Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics along with her sharp intellect make her supremely qualified to represent the United States, and safeguard its interests abroad,” he said.
